Man posts flyers around neighbourhood hoping to find missing cactus
19-year-old William Gould posted flyers of his cactus plant around his neighbourhood in Little Rock, Arkansas after it went missing.
″‘TERRENCE’ (ANSWERS TO TERRY),” the poster reads. “LAST SEEN ON MY FRONT PORCH ON CENTER STREET.”

If that isn't bizarre enough, the owner has set up a Go Fund Me page to afford a private investigator to find his beloved Terrance. "It was a date that will live forever in infamy," he said in a post on Go Fund Me.
Someone cactus-naped my rescue cactus, Terrence, off of my front porch so yeah I'm extra emo today

William reveals his story with Terrance when it was tiny. He rescued "him from an abusive household, a friends ex-stepfather was going to throw Terrence away meaning almost certain death."
Before he was "cactus-napped", Gould explains it wasn't easy being "a single father of a cactus" while working and studying. However, he managed to pull through.
During class, he would leave Terrence out on the porch to get sunlight and fresh air.
He told Huffpost that Terrence's brother cactus, Clarence, hasn't talked much since the incident.
Someone going through so much to find a plant definitely deserves to get it back. We wish him well.
