The Unexpected Game of Hide and Seek: Gillian's Story of Rescuing Mavis

missing pets: no place like home

What would you do if your beloved pet went missing one day? Put yourself in the shoes of our guest, Gillian Robertson, as she recounts the desperate chase to find her runaway cat, Mavis. A story of devotion, Gillian and her boyfriend's relentless pursuit is a rollercoaster ride filled with neon signs, humane traps, and an unexpected game of hide and seek that lasted for a nerve-wracking 14 days.
As the story unfolds, you'll hear about their well-planned mission to bring Mavis back home, involving fried chicken, dry food, and an array of surveillance cameras. Learn about their tireless efforts to create a safe zone for Mavis, staying awake in shifts, watching the door in hopes of her return, and the emotional moment of reunion when Mavis finally recognized her owners. You'll not only be touched but also learn a thing or two about innovative pet rescue strategies.
However, this tale of reunion is not only about the pursuit but also about letting go. Gillian shares her insights on the tricky balance between relentless effort and stepping back, trusting Mavis's survival instincts. You'll be swept up in their heartwarming reunion story and might even gain some valuable advice on handling similar situations. But wait until you hear the surprise twist at the end—a warm invitation to Mitch's home in Vermont, evidence of the strong bond she shares with their listeners. So, join us for an episode filled with suspense, emotion, and a whole lot of love for pets.
