I opened Facebook to see a notification- someone had tagged me in a post.

The post was of a bonded set of tuxedo cats, Ophelia and Maximillian.

The brother/ sister duo were adopted from Watching Over Whiskers (WOW) in August of last year.

Marcie with WOW said that the adopter was getting married and moving into an apartment complex, therefore needed to return the duo. The Cat shelter, which is in the midst of kitten season, offered a few solutions until the cats could be returned- after conversations went sideways, the adopter stopped responding.

Maximillian was found and surrendered to the Humane Society. His chip still showed the details of his foster parents where both cats were born and raised.

Ophelia is still missing. It’s thought that the duo were given away at a Wal Mart in Springfield- either the location on Sunshine and 65 or Independence.

If you  have seen Ophelia, please reach out to WOW.
