Laci Ping and husband Curtis Mullins wanted to keep their grey tabby cat, Mayson, safe during the wildfires tearing through Northern California [6]. However, after evacuating Mayson, he escaped from his carrier when he was spooked by a loud nearby explosion [7]. Devastated, Laci and Curtis thought they had lost their kitty for good until they stumbled across a Facebook post from UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital showing recently rescued pets whose owners were missing. In a happy turn of events, Laci and Curtis were reunited with Mayson [8] — who had gotten burned on all four of his legs — and the moment is the epitome of emotional. Mayson is expected to recover at the hospital for another week before he's released to his parents.
