A cat reunites with his owner after getting lost during Hurricane Irma

Tweet

Janice Dimitriou and her husband were in Highlands North Carolina in September since they evacuated from their home in Pelican Bay in Florida due to Hurricane Irma bearing down on their city in September. To make matters worse for Janice, her pet cat Turbo left a hotel room and went into the woods before his owners and himself were going back to Florida. Three months later, Janice received a telephone call from Jim Grove who claimed he saw the cat that fit the description of Turbo around Christmas time. After the good news that Turbo had been found inside a store that had a sign that claimed a cat that was missing, Janice and her husband then traveled 1,100 miles to reunite with their cat Turbo. After Janice reunited back to her home in Florida with her cat Turbo and her other pet cat Pumpkin, she thanked Jim Grove for taking care of her cat during the cold weather by giving Turbo water and food during the time that Turbo was homeless and in the mountain. A veterinarian cleared Turbo to return home after being in the cold weather for three months. It also helped that Janice did alert everyone in the Highlands area that her pet was lost. Not to mention the power of social media.
