Meanwhile, Corbin’s owner, Justice Ryder and her kids, never ever quit hope their cat would lie – particularly Hudson Ryder, 8, who was Corbin’s “person.” They published their own story on a lost and discovered web page.
Sandi Fettes, an animal supporter and Purrfect Companions Cat Rescue and Adoption volunteer in Delhi, ended up being the connection.
She had actually dealt with Ryder in Simcoe prior to the family relocated to Yarmouth and saw Sylvester’s post about the discovered cat.
Fettes connected to both females, hoping the cat was the very same in each case.
Through the exchange of information and images, Corbin’s recognize was developed and, says a Purrfect Companions representative, Fettes ended up being consumed with how to reunite the cat with his family.
“I share a lot of lost-and-found posts on my social media and was reading the comments and saw that Justice had said ‘Hey, that looks like Corbin!’” said Fettes.
“Justice just happened to see that post, even though she had deleted a lot of her old Norfolk groups, and I just happened to see her post and, a few days later, happened to see a story about pilots who fly animals.

“It was like it was meant to be.”
Through Canadian Wings of Rescue, a charitable volunteer organization that deals with rescue groups, shelters and wildlife rehabilitation centres to move animals through the work of volunteer pilots, a strategy came together.
“Our pilots love to help fly animals that need us, and we will certainly do our best to arrange a flight to support this reunion,” said Mark Better, the group’s transportation co-ordinator, in a press release.
To prepare yourself for his flight, Purrfect Companions sent Corbin to the East Village Animal Hospital in Hamilton to get a medical examination, be neutered and get his vaccines. He’s now waiting for verification of a possible pickup at the Tillsonburg airport on Sunday to satisfy the Ryders in Yarmouth after a drop in Arnprior.
“Corbin is so sweet,” said Fettes, “and after turning up after all this time, we just wanted to get him home.”
