T.K. (Tough Kitty) Rescued From River

T.K. (Tough Kitty) Rescued From River

Mike Sigler and his 6 year old son were fishing on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida when they heard a cat crying. After some investigation they found a kitten with her head barely above water clinging tightly to a piling. They got out a fishing net to rescue her. She’d been there for a while and had wounds that were bleeding. They wrapped her in a towel and took her home.

It’s believed that someone threw the cat off the bridge because she was in the middle of the river with miles of water to every side of her.

Nicknamed T.K. (Tough Kitty), she’s now a well-loved member of the Sigler family. Her paws are still raw and healing but she’s playful and happy in her new home.

He has been making the journey for so long that the bus company posted a notice in the office to alert all bus drivers to look out for him to ensure he gets off at the right stop.

Casper’s owner wondered where he was vanishing to every day until some of the bus drivers told her he had been catching the bus. Hence, how he got his name – because he “vanishes like a ghost”.

It’s estimated that the cat has travelled over 20,000 miles!
