In a series of tweets, by @SarahNKraus, it was revealed that a found cat, who was thought to be another missing cat by the name of Bert, was actually a cat named Loki that went missing NINE. YEARS. AGO.
Thanks to those who brought Loki into the vet to check if he was micro-chipped so he could be reunited with his family! Check out the wonderful story and happy tweets below!
This. Is. Not. Okay.
If anyone ever finds a wandering dog or cat, it's pure common sense to first check if the animal belongs to anyone -- collar, microchipped, asking around the neighborhood, etc.. What this woman did was the opposite of all that. She saw an opportunity to make some money, regardless of the owners feelings, heartbreak and worry over their missing dog.
Sansa, a unique Husky with one blue eye, and one brown, seemingly jumped her owners fence when the fireworks went off on the 4th of July. The owners posted a picture of Sansa online, in hopes of someone seeing the lost pup. Then, the unthinkable happened.
A woman was trying to sell off Sansa online for $200 to the first come seller! Thankfully, the people who commented knew that wasn't her dog and immediately told this woman off.
The endangered ring-tailed lemur, known as Isaac, was stolen from Santa Ana Zoo last summer. When employees at the zoo showed up for work that faithful morning of July 28th, 2018, they noticed something was amiss. The lemurs and monkeys were wandering the zoo like small furry tourists -- completely loose.
Someone had cut holes in the chain fence large enough for their escape. The zookeepers jumped into action and used grapes to capture the lot and did a head count. One was missing. The 32-year-old lemur, Isaac. Isaac is believed to be the oldest ring-tailed lemur currently living in captivity in North America.
The search party began immediately, but things took a strange turn. 10 miles from Santa Ana, the police received a phone call from the Marriott Hotel stating that the have a strange parcel at their door, along with a head-written note,
"This belongs to the Santa Ana Zoo. It was taken last night please bring it to police."
The zookeepers and the rest of the staff were thrilled to have Isaac back unharmed. But the question still remained, who? and why?
Police have finally got the answer.
1,529 different species of turtles and tortoises, including Star Tortoises, Redfoot Tortoises, Sulcata Tortoises, and Red-eared Slider turtles, were trying to be smuggled into the Philippines' main airport, this past Sunday. The passenger carrying the animals from a flight from Hong Kong, said to a Filipino national, abandoned the exotic animals in four items of luggage that have since been intercepted by authorities.
Miraculously, all of the animals were found to be alive and believed to be worth around $86,000, according to the Bureau of Customs at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
In their announcement, the Bureau of Customs NAIA released a series of photos of the smuggled turtles, some of which had been bound in duct tape. The animals have now been turned over to to the Wildlife Traffic Monitoring Unit of the Philippines Department on Natural Resources, the Bureau of Customs PH said.

Madison the Anatolian shepherd is breaking hearts around the world after he was found guarding his family home weeks after it was ravaged by California's Camp wildfire.
The Anatolian shepherd's owner, Andrea Gaylord, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, Calif., when the fire began to spread Nov. 8, meaning Madison was left behind. When the evacuation order was lifted last week and Gaylord went back to the property — which had been decimated by the fire — her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family's home. When Madison's owner, Andrea Gaylord, found the dog patiently waiting she told him, "you are the best dog. The best."
