Cat Euthanized Twice, Once by Mistake | Portland Maine News

A family thought they’d lost their beloved 19-year-old cat Annie after paying to have her euthanized in February 2025—but 18 months later, a shocking twist revealed she was still alive, secretly living with a vet tech who claimed to love her. The hospital owner confirmed the cat’s survival, and while one vet initially agreed to end her life, they chose to keep her alive because she seemed okay. The hospital admitted it failed to honor the family’s trust. Annie was finally euthanized on August 13th, and the family got their money back—no charges planned. It’s a haunting tale of misplaced trust, hidden compassion, and the emotional fallout behind closed doors at a place meant to care for pets.
