The owner of Colon (rescued in Ohkuma-machi in March, 2012.) is found.
November 9th, 2012
The owner of Colon was found through the list of Wakanyan-san. I thank you so much for such a great effort.

We had found him a new family, but as is always the policy for cats from Fukushima, in a case where the original owner is found, we will give him back.
His foster parent said that Colon loves the resident cat. He comes into same bed, he wants to be together, he wants to play together. The resident cat also looks for him when he disappears.
Thinking about both households, it is not so simple just give him back, as we promised.
Anyway, I tried to talk to both many times. We all thought about the happiness of this cat. And finally we reached the solution that we should let him stay with his new family. Both of them could keep contact. The owner was talking about Ohkuma-machi, to which they will never return. They felt relieved that Kaede (Colon) is loved by the new family. I told the owner that Kaede came into the capture cage at a feeding point in someone else’s house. The owner said that they will leave some food in their house when they temporarily go home for other cats.
Dear residents who still can’t find your cats, the most important thing is to secure a feeding place. Cats won’t forget their home, even if they go far away to find food. The probability of them coming home is very high. Right now, there are raccoon dogs, ("tanuki"), and wild boar at some feeding places. They may go into the house and damage it. But we can set the feeding point outside, under a roof, or in the storage.
While searching for rescued cats, remember that there's a high probability that the ones you're looking for haven't been rescued yet, so please keep an eye on the situation. Please think of what you would do if it were your child who still survived, and was waiting for your rescue. They can’t live without food. They face starvation and loneliness as they die. Please leave some food where you were living. Please do your best to save your family, your own child. If, for any reason, you can’t do that, please contact us.
