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

Word spread through Leah’s neighborhood after the serval returned safely.

Some people found the story hard to believe. Others admitted they might also have mistaken the animal for an unusual house cat.

Several neighbors had seen posts about the missing serval but had assumed it could not reach their streets.

The storm had carried branches and debris farther than expected. The frightened animal had also traveled farther than the center’s staff first believed.

Leah’s garage happened to be where it stopped.
