SAN ANTONIO -- When Jaison Shae arrived home with his two cats after having them spayed and neutered at the Animal Defense League he noticed the cat he brought home wasn't his.
“She was running all over the house knocking pictures over she broke my toaster oven she knocked it off the counter," said Shae.
The female feline was accidentally switched at the Defense League. Don Specht, the Director of Operations, admits the mistake. "It was a mistake on our part," Specht said. "One of the attendants accidentally grabbed the wrong one and put it in the wrong cage."
The cat was given to a woman who takes care of strays. She took the cat back home and let it go. Members the staff are still trying to find the cat.
Because of the incidents, Specht said the Defense League is taking measures to make sure pets and their crates are tagged with the owners name. There is also a thorough check before the animal leaves the facility.
