Lost Cat Is Back Home Thanks To Microchip

Animal rescue organizations tell you all the time how important it is to have your pets microchipped, and in this case it paid off for a family from Colorado. This cat named Willow managed to travel almost 18-hundred miles from Colorado to New York 5 years ago when she was a kitten, lived on the streets of New York until a man found her and notified Animal Care officials.

Thanks to the microchip officials were able to locate Willow’s family and reunite them. They still don’t know how a kitten could have traveled that many miles without being hit by a car or eaten by a coyote.

What’s the old saying? Can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?

Maybe Willow wanted a taste of the Big Apple.
