Cat comes home after six months
« on: May 09, 2013, 01:58:12 PM »
Cat that went missing after Sandy turns up at home six months later

By David Chang, NBCPhiladelphia.com




Uranie Roberts only has one way to describe it.

"It's a miracle," she said.

Lost for half a year, her beloved pet cat “Porsche” somehow found his way home.

Last November, Roberts and her family, including Porsche, had to be evacuated by boat from their home in the Chadwick Beach Island section of Toms River, N.J., after Superstorm Sandy hit the area. The family temporarily relocated to a relative’s home in Point Pleasant Borough before returning to Toms River. While the family was in Point Pleasant however, Porsche went missing.

“He got out of the house and that was the last we saw of him,” said Carol Baumann, Uranie’s daughter.

Baumann believed Porsche was gone for good. That was until Wednesday when she heard the familiar sound of meowing coming from the back deck of their Toms River home. When she walked toward it, she saw something she never thought she would see again.

“I saw the green eyes and I said, ‘My God in heaven, it’s Porsche!’” said Baumann.

Somehow the cat managed to travel eight miles through storm destruction, traffic and even over a bridge to get back to his original home.

“It’s just amazing how he found his way home,” said Baumann. “I wish he could talk.”

Baumann and Roberts plan to have Porsche checked out by a vet next week. They say however that it doesn’t look like he missed many meals in the past six months.

“You could see he was eating,” said Uranie. “His fur is sleek and soft.”

Whether he’s just extremely resourceful or truly does have nine lives, Baumann and Roberts are just glad to have him back.

“It’s wonderful,” said Baumann. “I missed him so bad.”

akong luha kay nag-tsunami.  sunod nakong iring nganlan na gyod nakog mercedes benz aron makauli gyod dayon.  hardly hinoon ko mawad-an ug iring kay policy nako is my cats should be indoor cats, gawas ug madato ko unya dako kog solar kay maka-construct ug screened solarium for the cats to play in the sunlight.

Missing cat comes home after four years

Missing cat comes home after four years
guardian.co.uk, Monday 2 January 2012 14.44 GMT



Willow, 10, identified by microchip after making 20-mile journey across moors to Plymouth


The owners of a cat that went missing four years ago got a late surprise Christmas present when they were reunited with her the day after Boxing Day.

Willow, who is now 10 years old, disappeared after being let out to play from her home in Princetown, Devon, in 2007.

The black cat was one of three that vanished from the same close in the town on Dartmoor within months of each other.

While one of them turned up in Taunton, Somerset, Willow was finally found in Plymouth.

"It's really only sinking in now, but it's the best Christmas present ever," owner Cristel Worth said.

"How she managed to stray from Princetown to, about 20 miles away, to get to Elburton, I have no idea. It's a long journey right across the moors."

Willow was taken in six months ago by a family from the Elburton area of Plymouth until a space became available at a nearby animal rescue centre.

But it was not until last week that the Gables Farm Dogs' and Cats' Home in Plymouth finally identified her thanks to an implanted microchip.

Worth, 32, said she was with her husband, Mark, 31, and their two young daughters when she received the call from the charity last Tuesday.

"We had almost given up hope that we would ever find her again and it was a really wonderful experience to know that she had finally come home," she said.

"I wish she (Willow) spoke, as all we know is that for the last six months she's been living in Elburton, but the previous three and a half years are a mystery."

Worth said the cat, which she had rehomed from an RSPCA centre, was now doing well but had seemed timid on the first night she was home.

She added that her six-year-old daughter, Izzy-May, was able to remember Willow, but the cat was a "delightful" new addition for two-year-old Olivia-Rose.

"Izzy-May has been feeding her special treats and giving her extra attention during feeding time and she's now met our second daughter.

"Izzy-May is extremely excited as she used to see her in the photo albums and didn't quite understand why she went, but she now has her back, which is wonderful.

"I'm not sure what has happened to her during the last four years but she does seem a lot more timid than before she left our family … She's now getting lots and lots of TLC, lots of cuddles and more cats' toys than you could imagine."

Worth said she also wanted to send a huge thankyou to the family who took Willow in looked after her until a place became available at the Gables.

Katie Barkell, from the Gables, said: "It's so difficult to match cats up with their owners, especially when the cat's been missing for four years … so having them microchipped is fantastic as we can get them straight back in contact.

"It was just brilliant to be able to tell them their cat is home … They rushed in and she [Mrs Worth] was just lost for words, she said it was just the best Christmas present they could have hoped for."

Reunion Today as Missing Cat Returns Home After Seven Years

Reunion Today as Missing Cat Returns Home After Seven Years
December 26, 2012 Posted by Editor in News
http://www.lifewithcats.tv/


The San Diego Humane Society and SPCA went the extra mile, make that hundreds of miles, when they sent a staffer to chaperone and hand deliver a precious bit of cargo today. Sophia the cat, who disappeared from her family in Arizona seven years ago, was turned in to the San Diego, California shelter last weekend by someone who had been caring for her. A microchip scan showed that she previously lived with Tricia Osterman, of Phoenix.

News crews were on hand today as Tricia waited at Sky Harbor airport, and finally saw her long lost cat for the first time in seven years.

i like such stories.  these parallel those 3 women in cleveland who's been missing for the the last decade and have finally returned home.  the difference: they were abused and they were not microchipped.  sometimes, pets are luckier. 8)
