Woman Takes In a Stray Cat, Then the Vet Asks, “Do You Know What This Is?”

During the heavy storm, a large piece of debris had struck part of an outdoor enclosure.

The damage was not obvious at first. A narrow opening had formed near the lower edge, and the young serval had slipped through before staff noticed it was gone.

The center began searching immediately.

Rain washed away many useful tracks. The animal moved through the wet area until it reached Leah’s neighborhood, where an open garage offered shelter.
