A cat that was stolen from a local PetSmart adoption area Saturday morning was later returned to another PetSmart.

Employees at the store at 389 W. 1830 South said a man came to the store about 10 a.m. asking about adopting a cat, according to an email from a volunteer with the Community Animal Welfare Society. After they told him he’d need to fill out an application, the man walked over to the cat kennels, coaxed a cat out and left the store with him.

The man later returned the cat to another PetSmart, and he was reunited with the rescue.
