BANGOR, Maine — A Bangor, Maine, man who went to an animal shelter in search of a new companion after he had lost his cat got the surprise of his life when he peeked into a cage and saw a very familiar face.
A man identified as Theron had lost “Cutie Pie” and decided to go to a nearby animal shelter to find a new cat. According to the shelter, he was looking inside each kennel closely, trying to decide which cat to choose when a cat turned to face him.
“Theron came into our shelter today looking for a cat to heal his heart after his kitty, Cutie Pie, disappeared about a week ago. As he perused the kennels, he stopped to examine one of our friends a little more closely and when the cat turned to face him, Theron erupted with joy. THIS WAS HIS CUTIE PIE!!” The Bangor Humane Society posted on its Facebook page Friday.
Shelter employees said Theron had plenty of photos on his phone proving that the cat was indeed his missing cat.
“Theron’s camera roll was full of pictures of Cutie Pie, leaving no question that this reunion was the real deal!” according to the post.
