“She was taken to an animal hospital in Short Pump as a stray and her microchip was scanned, they called u,s and we sent a staff member right away,” a spokesperson for Richmond SPCA said.

Richmond SPCA says they’ve spoken to the person who found Daenerys. They say she declined the $1,000 reward offered for the cat’s safe return but is interested in adopting Daenerys once she is available.
