A Moggie for Michael
A Lost Pet Chronicles Story

Forty dollars. That's all a ten-year-old boy had — and he was willing to give every penny to find the cat his dying mother left him.

The search led Sherlock Bones to a ramshackle house overflowing with cats, an eccentric Englishwoman named Mrs. Bentwhistle, and an unexpected friendship that changed two lonely lives forever.

This story was published in Reader's Digest, reaching more than 40 million readers in 13 languages across 40 countries, and was later featured in Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul.

This is the story of Michael — and the unexpected gift that came from losing everything.

Lost Pet Chronicles brings you the true cases of Sherlock Bones — America's first professional pet detective — and the extraordinary animals and people behind every search.
