STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Today’s Pet Game Changer is Shannon Jay, a former law enforcement officer turned rescuer of lost, displaced, and injured cats, especially “fire cats”
  • When Shannon’s indoor-only cat escaped one day six years ago, in the following “13 days and nights of living hell,” he learned a whole lot about what it takes to find a missing cat
  • Shannon lives in Northern California, an area of the U.S. that has experienced devastating wildfires in recent years; now retired from the police force, he works full time applying the skills he learned finding his own cat to the rescue of feline victims of wildfires
  • Shannon also helps train other rescuers on how to find and save lost, displaced cats, especially fire cats
