An Airline Looked After A Cat — Even Gave Her A Name Tag — After Her Owner Went Into Labor
Meet Meow Meow, the newest member of the Canadian North team.
Over 100,000 people have fled from their homes in Fort McMurray, Canada, due to massive wildfires that authorities believe could burn for months. To accommodate families evacuating the area with pets, several Canadian Airlines — including Canadian North — opened up their coach sections to pets.

"It was definitely unusual to carry pets in the cabin, but due to the unusual circumstances we were able to bend the rules," a Canadian airlines spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. "We understand the emotional impact that it would have had to leave them behind."
Sadly, last week, Krystal Scott's family had to leave their cat Meow Meow with Canadian North Flight Operations team members after she went into labor during the evacuation. "I'm pregnant and due any moment," Scott told BuzzFeed News. "The airline was amazing we were so overwhelmed by their kindness."

Meow Meow stayed with Canadian North in their office for a few days. And according to a Canadian North spokesperson, she was a great addition to the team.
