Jabal very nearly didn't get his life back. In New York, USA, his owners did everything they could to find their stolen kitten.
As reported by the website People, the three-month-old kitten, who was wandering peacefully around the family's grocery shop, was snatched by a man and a woman.
Luckily, the kidnapping was caught on the shop's CCTV cameras. Someone did try to chase after the couple, but without success.
A $500 reward on offer
Desperate to find him, the shopkeeper offered a $500 reward for his safe return. On top of that, they put up posters all over the local area.
A few days later, Jabal's family received a phone call from someone claiming to know who was holding the kitten.
Reunited at last
Just like a scene from a TV detective drama, the caller explained that he would bring the kitten back the following day. And that is exactly what happened — Jabal was finally reunited with his owner.
The woman suspected of being one of the abductors has since been found and taken into police custody. According to American media, she has been charged with shoplifting, possession of stolen property and pet theft.
