Cat Missing After McLean Animal Health Center Fire

A cat escaped from a McLean animal health center and boarding facility during the April 19 fire and remains missing. Marmee, a brown tabby, escaped when Old Dominion Animal Health Center was evacuated, according to a Pawboost lost dog posting.

Her owner says she escaped near Emerson and Lowell Avenues and was headed to the area of Bryn Mawr Park at Laughlin Avenue and Tennyson Drive.

A message from the owner reads, "If you see her, do not approach her as she is afraid of strangers. She is semi feral and has trust issues. She serves as a therapy pet for a disabled elderly woman. Please help us get her home."

Marmee is described as a brown tabby with apricot tipped tail and stomach fur. Click here for more information and to contact the owner and see more lost and found pets around the McLean area.
