The cat, paradoxically called Lucky, got away the fire last Wednesday at a home on Maple Avenue that was destroyed by the blaze, according to Pieper Veterinary, which has areas in Essex, Middletown and other locations throughout the state.
The cat was on the loose for a number of days while his owner, Ed Lonergan Sr., was hospitalized following the fire, according to a GoFundMe page produced by Lonergan’s granddaughter, Viktorija Grillo.
Lucky was seen by a veterinarian at Pieper’s Essex area Monday after a days-long search by neighborhood members. He had the ability to leave the blaze with just a few singed hairs.
