After vanishing during the deadly floods nearly two months ago, a cat has finally been reunited with his owners.
The feline, named Clover, went missing amid the severe and sudden flooding that struck Central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend. Among the hardest-hit areas was Kerrville, where Clover lived with his owners, Hannah and Kyle, Kerrville Pets Alive shared on Facebook on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
“After being separated from his family,” the nonprofit dedicated to saving homeless pets wrote, “Clover the cat is finally home.”
Kerrville Pets Alive detailed that “his humans” had “been searching for him daily since the flood and had recently spotted him.” But due to “the trauma Clover endured,” he was “scared and hesitant to approach them.”
With patience and care, the organization rescued Clover and provided medical treatment for a “severe eye injury” he sustained while away from home. Ultimately, the injured eye was removed, but Clover has fully recovered.

Nearly a week after the rescue, Clover was “happily reunited with a very relieved Hannah and Kyle” on Tuesday.
“Miracles happen,” the organization wrote on Facebook.
PEOPLE has reached out to Kerrville Pets Alive for further details about the rescue.
According to CBS and Telemundo affiliate KWTX-TV, Clover had been registered in Kerrville Pets Alive’s missing animals database, which helps match pets with owners separated during the floods.
Clover is the latest pet to experience a joyful reunion following the devastating natural disaster that displaced countless animals.
In July, roughly 16 hours after the rising waters hit Central Texas, a dog owner was able to locate their pet using a GPS collar.
As she recounted to PEOPLE, Erin Doguet’s dog, Ziva, went missing when the Medina River flooded Doguet’s Texas ranch. Even while away on vacation in Colorado, Doguet could track Ziva’s movements and guide her sister, Shannon, and their pet sitter, Taelyn, to the edge of the ranch, where Ziva was trapped in a flooded gully.
“I burst into tears knowing they found her alive! When the collar kept reporting her same location for hours on the river, I feared she was dead,” Doguet told PEOPLE, noting that Ziva was “physically unharmed.”
