THE MYSTERY OF NALA THE CAT

Our new cat Nala is a mystery. Found as a scrawny stray south of the Minneapolis area, she started showing up in the yard of a kind couple. They fed her and for several days she came to visit them whenever they were outside, so they set up a little area for her in the garage with food and a dry bed since it was a stormy spring. Believing it odd that a cat like Nala would be a stray, they checked the local lost cat postings online and the vet checked for a microchip, but there were no leads.
