Following the tornadoes that struck our town last week, a lot of people are having trouble finding dogs that fled their houses. One of the women believed she had lost her three animals. Mattie Gordon, though, recently received some positive news.
The tornado outbreak damaged hundreds of homes, including Gordon’s in Port Salerno, and her cats went missing.
Gordon’s bed was lifted by two neighbors who went looking two days after the storm and discovered them cowering underneath it. Now that her three cats are safe in their makeshift residence—a nearby hotel room—she feels relieved.
“I was just so worried about them,” Gordon stated. “[I feared] that they were hurt or whatever, and they didn’t have any food.”
She claimed that her cats, Annie, Suzy, and Mooch, scurried beneath the bed as she fled for safety when the storm struck last Wednesday.
“I was devastated. I just kept saying, ‘My cats, my cats. I have to get my cats,'” Gordon stated.

However, hope remained intact after going gone for two days.
“Two neighbors — two girls — came to me, and she said, ‘Come on, we’re going to get your cats,'” Gordon stated. “And they came in, one lifted up the bed, and the other one scrambled underneath.”
Now all three of her pets are secure.
“I have been a widow for 29 years, and cats are almost … like service animals to me,” Gordon stated. “They’re my everything.”
