What a happy ending to this story. Mr Harris will recover much more quickly, knowing that he has Miss Kitty safely waiting for him.

Thank you so much for bringing this story to us and for your dedication to the stories of the creatures of Katrina. I have appreciated hearing your first hand account of this disaster.

I had been afraid to hope but I am so glad that it turned out this way. Noah's people and these journalists deserve kudos for their follow-through, understanding and compassion. Thanks for sharing.

I am crying like a baby!!!! I am soooo happy for the both of them!!! I can't begin to put words with what the two of you did for this man!!! I belive Bill has three angels now!!!!

Mike and Andrew - all your hard work gave this man a reason to keep living. He now knows that Miss Kitty is waiting for him. You both should feel proud of what you have accomplished here - reuniting a man with his cherished family member that saved his life. Miss Kitty will also rest better now that she knows her owner has not forgotten her. Moments like this make you feel good about the world eventhough we have tragic events like Hurricane Katrina.

Hooray! Everyone who reads this should send a donation to Noah's Wish. Many thanks to these people helping to find pets.

It's a wonderful feeling knowing everything isn't so bad. Animals and kids suffer the most I think especially with this kind of tragedy.
Thanks for the wonderful stories.

Thanks for finding and following this story, getting involved, and helping to let it have a happy ending. It is a welcome human and feline face to what has been an overwhelming tragedy, and it's wonderful to have an uplifting story with everything that has happened. I am so happy that Miss Kitty and Bill will be back together, and that Bill's mother is also safe. Thanks again for following through on this in the best possible way.

This is such an uplifting story. As the "Mom" to my own 17 year old Cat, I know I would be lost without him. This story brought tears of joy to my eyes. I know Bill and Miss Kitty will both be OK now. Thank you all for your dedication.

Our world can be so terrible, with natural disasters that kill the most vulnerable, and separate families from each other. But our world is filled with people who have empathy and compassion.

This amazing technology has allowed us all to share in this inspiring story, and will hopefully result in needed funds for organizations like Noah's Wish and the Humane Society. Kudos to MSNBC.com for giving space to this story, and to the tenacious reporters that brought it to us.

This is the best news I've had all day. Thank God for everyone who worked so hard to reunite Bill Harris and Miss Kitty. Miracles do happen and this is truly one of them. I will continue to pray for all of you and yours. Thank you for caring. God bless all of you.

I have been following this story since I discovered it, and I am so extremely happy now after reading the wonderful ending. We are all sacred life here, finding our way on this planet. Thank you to all of you who are saving the lost animals and helping to restore hope into people's lives. What are we without unconditional love? I would be afraid of the answer. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who have been devastated by Katrina. Bless you all.

Thank God for people like Troullier and Wackerbauer, and Noah's Wish!

It's good that Miss Kitty is safe and sound, and that Bill was able to see his precious kitty, BEFORE she is shipped back to Noah's Wish in Slidell, LA.

I, too, am an "avid" animal care giver.

Keep up the good work, y'all!

I made a donation. You do it too!!

God willing we will have more happy endings!!

I am so glad to see a happy ending to this moving story. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina is so overwhelming that you can forget that many good things happen as well. The story of Bill and Miss Kitty gives me hope.

My fortune cookie at lunch said, "You will soon witness a miracle." This is it! Finally some GOOD news. I have contributed to the Red Cross but will also contribute to Noah's Wish!

I prayed it would turn out like this! Seeing Miss Kitty is exactly what Bill needed! And vice versa! Our whole office's best wishes to you both!! We're pulling for you Bill!

Mollie and me (my 7 year-old granddaughter just read the wonderful news and we pray for Bill's speedy recovery so he and Miss Kitty can resume their life together! When are we going to see a still photo of that glorious reunion? This is a momentus occasion! A poster size would be great!

I don't understand..under these circumstances that they will not allow people to keep their pets with them. Studies show that people recover more quickly when they have their family, friends, or pets with them. These people have suffered enough. BEND THE RULES...

Every story that I read about these animals brings tears to my eyes. I torn between the happiness I feel for the ones that are reunited, and the deep sadness for all the dogs and cats that are now lost souls. I want to thank the people who are putting their effort into finding the homes that these animals deserve.

We sent in what spare money we could-wish it could have been more. We do have room available to foster another one to two cats though. We would greatly LOVE to help in this way, even though we are in California. Please let us know if we can. Currently we have two cats, aged two. Sister and brother adopted from another rescue agency here. They are short hair sociable and fun kitties that would welcome another addition, even if only temporarily.

God Bless one and all for their help and for those "bloggers" that have also donated. Every little bit helps. These rescuers should be given a Presidential Medal of Honor and of Valor for their ongoing, untiring and tenacious efforts for our family friends, members (pets). Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers! CHEERS to you all!

Sincerest hope for all of the best in all of your endeavors,
The Harlow's

Mike & Andrew you are two amazing wonderful men - if there isn't a gold medal for what you guys have accomplished there darn well should be.

Not only have you saved two lives and caught up hundreds, maybe thousands, of people with the story of your rescue but you've put a face on all the animal suffering and hopefully brought so many more people to understanding.

Animals are not our property - we are only their caretakers. They owe us nothing and yet they give us everything.

ALL of us here must make a pledge to go forward and make sure our government understands this. WE must make sure that that all animals are protected, no matter what.

If only two regular people could literally come thru hell and high water to reunite Bill and Miss Kitty - just imagine what a difference all of us together could make.

Let them be our inspiration.

I am thrilled to see them reunited. I have been scanning through this blog, seeing all the comments made from all over the U.S. and other countries as well. As a Gulf Coast resident all 33 years of my life, along with my family living here for over 200 years (we live in central Baldwin County, Alabama), it has meant so much to me seeing the outpouring of blessing from all of you. You see, my father was a career Merchant Marine Bosun. His "home" port was New Orleans, LA, even though we lived only 30 minutes away from the port of Mobile, AL. I spent most of the first 12 1/2 years of my life in New Orleans and it's surrounding suburbs and ports. Many a time I have spent, standing or sitting on a levee or a dock waiting for our "ship to come in" to see Daddy. Even though we saw what was considered the "bad parts of town", it wasn't so bad because my brothers, our mother and I knew we'd see Daddy again. We all loved that old city; our parents even spent their honeymoon at the Bienville House Hotel in November of 1961 in New Orleans. The last time I got to see that grand city was on Saturday, August 27, 2005. My daughter and I had gone with my brother down there for 3 days so that he could attend a function at the Convention Center. I took my 10 year old daughter on a walking tour of the city and she loved it, even with all it's different classes of people. I had promised her that we would come back to New Orleans to visit at least 3 times a year from that point on. Well, we are going to have to wait a long time for that. But hopefully not too long. Thank you again, America and all the other countries for all your help and hopefully we-the Gulf Coast-can recover in a timely fashion and be grand again!

I am so, so, SO happy to hear that Bill and Miss Kitty have been reunited!!!!! Best wishes to Bill for a speedy recovery

I'm soooo happy !!! I read this story today at work and I've thought of nothing else since. Thank you to everyone that made this possible. I will be able to sleep tonight !! Bless you all ...

God Bless you both Bill and Miss Kitty! Get well soon. Thank you Mr. Brunker and crew for bringing such an awesome story out of the horror we've been seeing!! Keep up the good work.
