LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — A lost cat has been reunited with his owners!
On July 25, the Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department (NLCRPD) got a knock on the door of their Warwick substation asking for help with a stray cat that kept walking into an area business to hang out inside.
NLCRPD officers put the woman requesting help in contact with Anita Barr, an Elizabeth Township resident who works with Purr-fect Love TNR/ Last Litter Rescue. Anita, known for her big heart and tons of work sheltering area cats, has been able to get over 200 cats spayed and neutered and has fostered countless cats and kittens as they're prepared for adoption.
Once Anita got involved, she learned that the cat's name was Tigger and that his family had been searching for him for over two years.
Over the last several years, Tigger had bounced a long way from the 100-acre woods his family calls home. Tigger went missing in Boyertown, about 40 miles and an hour away from where he was found in Lancaster County.
On Aug. 4, Anita met up with Tigger's family at the NLCRPD Warwick substation and returned Tigger to his family.
Officers with the NLCRPD thanked Anita for all her hard work and dedication to helping so many cats and other animals find better lives.
