From a Split-Second Escape to a Third Chance

Penny’s journey back to us is one we won’t forget anytime soon.

In a split second, Penny noticed a window left just barely open. True to her fearful nature, she didn’t hesitate — she shot out and disappeared before anyone could react. For a timid cat, this was our worst fear.

For weeks, traps were set and checked daily. We searched blindly, not even knowing where to start, hoping Penny would feel safe enough to approach help. Every day without news felt heavier than the last.

Then the call finally came.

Penny had been trapped and was sitting at the pound. Penny didn’t come back unscathed. She returned to us with ringworm and a serious trap injury to her nose, which will require ongoing treatment, alongside 6–8 weeks of ringworm care.

Penny is finally safe. She’s back where she belongs, receiving the care, patience, and compassion she needs to heal.

Welcome home, Penny. You were worth it — even when it hurt.
