Zoey

The tragic story has come to an end with sad results. Collin’s little kitty traveled to work with me in my car with out my knowledge. She ended up surviving the 14 mile ride to work and wandering the parking lot of my work place. A couple of employees found her and brought her into the building to find the owner. Several people were willing to take her home until her owner was found. Unfortunately I did not know she was found at work until Saturday when I posted a note on Face book that she was lost. Several notified me she was found at work and took home by a fellow employee. Collin was so happy he would get back his kitty.

This kitty is named Zoey and has the best personality. She plays in the house with Woody, our big tom cat. She runs the house all day and is so playful. She naps with Collin is adorable with her blue eyes.

When I arrived at work on Monday the person who took her home would not give her back. She said she fell in love with her and could not part with her. This became an issue with me. I was dumbfounded someone could be so cruel and keep a Childs pet. She was very adamant that it was her kitty now and would have a better home with her. She was attached and that was the end of it for her. So I went to HR to see if they had any influence over getting this kitty back for my son. Unfortunately, they had no better luck than me in persuading her to do the right thing. My next step was to call the Peru police to see what my rights were. The police department was very friendly and said they would call her as this was a civil matter but they would try to make her do the honorable thing.

Once again we were disappointed as she refused the suggestion to return the kitty to Collin. I can not believe there is such mean people in the world and would purposely hurt a child to keep what is rightfully not there’s.
She told the police if she lost something she would expect to get it back but this situation is different because she is in love. She doesn’t consider the kitten is so sweet because my child has poured loved and attention on to her daily for the last 3 weeks of having her. This was his birthday present from a classmate and it is a sad ending.
I am told what goes around eventually comes around and I would like to think that the world is fair and everything happens for reason.
I pray Zoey will have a nice home with this person and grow to be an old lazy age like our cat Woody. Love was enough to get her and let her go..
