Being the animal lover that she is, Bennett stumbled across a post from the Lenawee Humane Society that looked much like her missing cat named Buddy. This cat, however, being found without any way to identify it was not called Buddy... but named Snack Wrap.

This was because the cat was found at an area McDonald's ten miles away from Buddy's original home. But again, no one knew that at the time because Buddy wasn't carrying his I.D.

With matted hair and obviously on it's own for years, the Lenawee Humane Society took in Buddy, cleaned him up, shaved him and posted the story of how they found the poor feline. But Bennett was convinced that this was her beloved Buddy.

Back in April, the Lenawee Humane Society posted to social media, 'After a much-needed shave job, some medical attention and lots of TLC, Snack Wrap was officially ready for his second chance.'
