Soldier and her cat are reunited thanks to shelter's helping hand

A soldier was reunited with her beloved cat following her tour of duty, thanks to the shelter that kept and cared for the kitty at no charge.

US Army Specialist Andrea Jackson was reunited with Olivia at the Paws and Whiskers no-kill cat shelter in Toledo, Ohio earlier this month. Paws and Whiskers cared for Olivia so she could return to her petmom when the soldier returned home.

Paws and Whiskers told the story at Facebook on October 13, writing: “About a year ago PAWS got an email for a soldier in Texas who had left her cat with her parents when she left for active duty. Her parents had fallen on hard times and and could no longer care for her cat. She was desperately looking for someone to take her feline friend Olivia. We asked if she was surrendering Olivia or if she would like to be reunited when her tour was up. She said she would really like to return to Olivia but if she had to surrender she would do that because she wanted her to be cared for. Because her guardian was serving our country and wanted Olivia back we agreed to let Olivia live her at PAWS until her guardian’s discharge at no cost to the service member.
