A cherishable cat, Kevin Durant, disappeared without a trace back in 2017. His devoted mother, Elizabeth Gillespie, tirelessly looked for him, gradually losing the glimmer of hope she had for his return.
However, after an excruciating seven years, a ray of hope showed up as she receive a text message on a Thursday evening - her treasured Kevin Durant had been located.
Kevin Durant, being a creature of habit, hadn’t wandered too far. He was discovered residing with a local cat community a mere mile away from his household. He was taken to the Walker County Animal Shelter, scanned for a microchip - which he possessed, leading to the joyous news being sent to his mother by 24Petwatch.
Overwhelmed, Elizabeth rushed to the shelter the next day for a heartwarming reunion with her long-lost Kevin Durant. She held her furbaby tightly, covering him with affectionate kisses, a moment captured through a video which she proudly shared on her Facebook account.
Elizabeth shared in her post, “He was living OUTDOORS in a feline colony just a mile distance this whole time! He even had his ear clipped (he was already neutered). Despite being dirty, he seems healthy. For assurance, we'll have a vet checkup soon. I’m so delighted to have him home!”
Elizabeth, a volunteer at North Georgia Animal Alliance, shared her reunion story on Facebook, emphasizing that “MICROCHIPS WORK!!” She urged pet owners to microchip their pets and update their contact details if they change. "Welcome home, Kevin Durant!” was their heartening message.
Kevin Durant, now 12 years old, is gradually adapting to his indoor life. Elizabeth updated, “He’s healthy and enjoying his time at home. Overwhelmed with guilt knowing that he’s been close, and outside this whole time. But I’m glad I can spend more time with him.”
Endearing stories like these emphasize the importance of microchips in reuniting lost pets with their loving families. An example is Cindy Armstrong commenting about her Great Pyrenees, who returned to her after nearly 5 years, all thanks to the microchip!
Never give up hope!
