TBC's Search & Rescue Team Does It Again!

For eleven days the cat named McKenzie, ("Kenzie" for short), went missing from her home in Masontown, PA. This was an accidental escape, and Kenzie ran from her pet-parents out of mere fear! The TBC Search & Rescue Team was brought in almost immediately and began their search efforts following the very last sighting of her. The Team continued to follow Kenzie through the woods, streets, and side roads of Masontown, PA leading them across a busy intersection to businesses, private homes, and even through the first major six inches of snowfall of December 2020!

TBC Red flags were placed at each confirmed "hit" and sighting in order to track Kenzies whereabouts. Traps were set and monitored on a regular basis, and moved into locations to bring her closer to the Team, and pet-owners. There were many car trips into surrounding areas, and no building or warehouse was left unchecked. The Team used various methods of tracking with proper training, and special equipment was used to track the kitty.

Finally, she was seen by one of her pet-parents and then she disappeared before their eyes! The Team investigated the areas and found that she had hid into what appeared to be either a rabbit or groundhog hole. So the Team placed traps in the area close by and went to prepare for an all night "stake-out.” Only she decided to go for the food in one of the traps before the Team returned for the "stake-out!” WELCOME BACK HOME KENZIE!! The TBC Search & Rescue Team was more than delighted, and a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE HAPPENED! (pictured L to R): Pet-Parent Jess, TBC Founder Donna, "Kenzie" Pet-Parent Christy and TBC Volunteer Kim Sue.
