I got a great email today from a guy who lost his cat and the chain of events that occurred after watching Craigslist Joe with his girlfriend. Here it is…
Hey man, my name is Pat and I live on Long Island in NY. Me and my girlfriend watched your documentary randomly on netflix the other day. I had never heard of it but we both loved it, so much so that I suggested it to my younger sister. She watched and loved it as well. I tell you that to tell you this, we have a cat that ran away from a house my family had been staying at in between moving and renovating. We did your typical post flyers and pennysaver ad, 3 months went by and…..nothing. We had pretty much assumed he was dead seeing as how it was now January in NY. After seeing your film, my sister posted an ad on craigslist…..2 days later and we got our cat back. I had to do a triple take because I couldn’t believe it actually was the little guy.
I have decided that this chain of events doesn’t occur without me watching (and enjoying) your film.
-Thanks for our cat back
Ps- We’re changing his name to either “Craig” or “Joe” (photos below)

That is great man. Like I said once I finished watching your documentary, Craigslist Joe is a story of inspiration and hope in the world, and this is just a demonstration of that!
Right on, thanks, Samir!
What an awesome story! It’s wonderful to hear about the kindness of others :)
Thank you Joe for taking a risk and making the doc. I felt just about every emotion possible watching it and I love how you just rolled with everything that came your way. Wishing you well!
Thank you!
We live in Baltimore, a city with incarceration rates beyond belief. We filled out our application to become mentors to a kid with parents in prison while the film was still going.
That is very good of you to do, Sven. Please keep me updated on how that goes.
Truly inspired by your journey. You’ve shown that there are still some good people out there. Thank You for that.
Thanks Marcus. I think there are a lot of good people out there. We just have to be open enough ourselves to see them!
Absolutely. I think people just hold so tight to themselves that when they do open up they ha’ve forgotten how to receive.
Man I just downloaded the album on iTunes and i’m really diggin it. Music is about the message, not the money. I think people have forgotten that. And your selection definitely shines through. The album is ironically parallel to movie. Very unique. If you want to know and curiosity has gotten the best of you,(LOL) what’s my favorite track on the album. It is by far “Beside My Queen”. I wish it was longer than 1:52. Appreciate the experience.
Everything is Temporary
Hey Joe! I just watched your documentary and wow, I was so moved. It is so inspiring and hopeful. In the world we live in today, it’s so wonderful to see the kindness of people and what we are capable of when we work together. Awesome work!
After seeing it, you’ve inspired me to find some volunteer opportunities for myself on Craiglist to get more in touch with the community. Thank you for the inspiration!
