A cat lost for two months since it went missing from a baggage center at John F. Kennedy Airport has been found safe.

American Airlines reports that the feline, known as Jack the Cat, was found in a customs room and was taken to a veterinarian. A family friend of the owner told NBC New York that the cat was discovered after it fell from a ceiling tile.

He's apparently in critical condition, being monitored very closely and being fed through a tube. He was de-hydrated and malnourished, so I don't think he ate that much.


They said on the news that the next few days are critical to his survival.


Come on, Jack! We're rooting for you.

Tons of vibes going out to Jack!

That poor baby! I can't even begin to imagine how afraid he was with all of those loud noises, and no one to love him and give him food and water

I've been following this story and hope Jack is ok. Last I heard was that there was a 50/50 chance. I hope and pray that he makes it. Poor baby has been through enough already.

This was the best news I'd heard that day, as I had been following the search for Jack on Facebook... the poor guy has been through so much. And even though the airline supposedly placed food and water in a couple locations... it doesn't appear that Jack found them. :vi bes: get better Jack and get home to your family.

I wonder just how high the ceiling is at JFK? Thank goodness they found him and it sounds like he's going to be okay. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story!
I had heard about him on the news, but never heard an update.
