I am incredibly relieved! She's home safe and sound. She was picked up by
the city animal control from an address three doors up the street from me,
and it must have happened very shortly after she made her escape. I could
have saved myself an anxious weekend if I'd called Friday before they
closed, instead of hoping she'd turn up on her own!

I hate going to those places; they do their best, but I always want to
take all the animals home. They had a couple friendly cute scrawny
half-grown cats, one which has suffered some injury to its ears in the
same room as Mandy, and a big calico which was obviously an office cat,
with a bed on the reception desk. Plus a number of dogs - several beagles,
a husky-type, and some mixed breeds I know too little of dogs to guess at
their ancestry.

Thanks for all the purrs!
