Last December, Jamie McCall was on a cross-country drive as she prepared to move from Florida to Michigan before Christmas. She stopped at a hotel for the night in Cleveland, Tennessee, and while she was getting herself a bite to eat, her beloved eat Tucker escaped from her room. "My cat's an escape artist," explained McCall. "He sits beside the door and waits for someone to open it, then he runs out."
It somehow happened during McCall's quick mission, and she was shocked to return and find Tucker missing. "I could not find him. I looked everywhere, for hours."
When Tucker still hadn't turned up, McCall had no choice but to continue her journey to Michigan, though it broke her heart to drive on without Tucker. A friend told her to post Tucker online, which she did.
Two days later, Holly Lillard was at work at a drugstore near McCall's hotel. She went outside to sweep and saw a cat jump out from underneath someone's car. She called the cat over, and he came, which made Lillard realize that he belonged to someone who was missing him.
Lillard asked around and when no one claimed him, she posted a photo of Tucker to her area's "Lost and Found Pets" online group, where she was a regular there, not just because she's an animal lover whose own dogs are also escape artists, but because her aunt and cousin are the page administrators.
Before the day was even over, McCall had found Lillard and her post. "She sent pictures and I knew immediately it was Tucker," said McCall. There was just one problem: By the time they connected, McCall was already in Michigan.
"I was trying to make arrangements to get him back to me, but I just couldn't afford it," said McCall. "I was not financially able to have him shipped back to me or anything like that."
