Leroy’s owner, saw the post on his social media feed.
Hays immediately recognized his feline family member and drove to the adoption center to be reunited with his beloved cat.
“I don’t know how he ended up 20 miles away or what kind of trials he went through to survive that long in the wilds of Mims/Port St John, but he is home again and resting. Thank you to SPCA of Brevard for taking great care of him for the past 3 months! None of us can believe that he got that far on his own and that he stayed in the center for as long as he did. But we are glad to have him back,” Hays said.
