Cat missing for a year turns up more than 600 miles from home
Published in Cats & Dogs News
(UPI) A cat who went missing from her Ontario family turned up one year later and more than 600 miles from home.
The Oromocto and Area SPCA said on social media that a stray cat was brought in recently by a group of young people who had been feeding the loose feline for months in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
"We immediately scanned her to see if she had a microchip and to our joy, the scanner beeped," the post said. A phone call to the person the chip was registered to told an amazing story!
The cat, named Birdie, turned out to have vanished a year earlier from her home just outside of Ottawa, Ontario.
The shelter said how Birdie came to be more than 600 miles from home is "a complete mystery."
Officials said Birdie will be given a ride home by a family planning an upcoming trip to Ottawa.
