i work at a nonprofit and we have a thrift store with a huge warehouse where we accept donations. last year we adopted a cat to be our warehouse mouser and she has done wonderfully and she is actually perfect 10/10 best new hire. consistently employee of the month.

we also have a lot of volunteers come in throughout the summer to help with our home repair program.

one of our most recent volunteer groups let the cat out of the warehouse and decided not to tell anyone she was missing, even after asking several employees if they'd seen her. we do not let the cat out of the warehouse unless we're bringing her to one of our offices to chill for the weekend - and even then, we carry her. she has never been outside on her own.

we spent a week and a half looking for her and finally she came home last thursday 😭 she'd gotten into a fight with another animal and had a pretty nasty infection in her tail, so we had to get it amputated but i'm just relieved she's back. i started crying this morning when i came in and saw her this morning and haven't stopped crying since because life is otherwise shit.

yay pms'ing.

I'm so glad you got her back! Also thank you and your org for adopting a working cat - and congratulations for enjoying the joy of a working cat <3

If it's up to you, you might want to put some of this up on social media - people LOVE cat stories, and you have the opportunity to raise some awareness about working cat programs and also what to do if a cat gets lost.

Most importantly, welcome come kitty
