Finding a ride for Sophie the cat
A couple headed from Fort Drum to Columbia, S. C., had to leave their cat behind when the cat went missing during their stay at the Super 8 Canandaigua motel last Tuesday night.
Sophie, a tortoiseshell cat, was eventually found stuck inside the box spring of a mattress in room 111, where she is now staying and being cared for while advocates try to reunite her with her family.
“We walked up and down, everywhere,” said motel general manager Brenda Haak, who tried with other motel employees to find the cat before the couple had to get back on the road Wednesday. Jon and Liz Trewhella were headed to Fort Jackson, where Jon is stationed with the Army.
