Cat missing in Eastpoint for 4 months returned to owners



Last Friday we received a call from Dr. Fulmer's office saying that they had our cat, Mr. Dibbs. Said cat went AWOL on Saturday, September 8th when a clasp on his carrying case snapped and he jumped out and ran across Hwy 98 during Dr. Fulmer's Free Rabies Shot clinic. Four months have passed and a woman who lives behind the vet office brought our cat in to see if he had a chip embedded. He did and the chip read that his owner was Wolfgang Foust (our son) of San Francisco. Because of a heavy travel schedule, our son sent us Mr. Dibbs and his brother Fred the dog in October of 2011.

During his disappearance, my wife searched for him almost on a daily basis for the frst month, until she ran into a black bear behind the Red Pirate Restaurant in Eastpoint. Thanks to Oyster Radio, the Apalach Times and the posters that Lois made for us we received a lot of phone calls about Mr. Dibbs sitings. We even received one asking for Mrs. Dibbs. The Pirate Restaurant, Tom at the Truck Link and the Chevron station on Island Drive were especially helpful. The people at Dr. Fulmer's Clinic were above and beyond!

To make a long story short, we brought Mr. Dibbs home last Friday afrer four months and his brother Fred smelled him up and down and then tried to hump him for which he received a good whack. Then they went to sleep together. We saved on four months of cat food, but it wasn't worth the wear and tear. Pls tell your listeners/readers to get a chip. They work. 


Thanks again, Butch Foust, Apalachicola
