A two-and-a-half-year-old cat named Rainy has accomplished an amazing feat. The cat’s owners, Susan and Benny, live in Salinas, California. A few months ago, they visited Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, where their cat went missing.
Rainy disappeared shortly after they arrived on June 4. Susan said, "My husband is my hero because he spent hours every day searching for the cat in the forest."The couple tried to lure Rainy back with her favorite food and toys but had no luck. Eventually, they stopped the search and returned to California. Susan mentioned that they hoped Rainy would come back, but a month after she went missing, they adopted her sister. The couple had rescued both cats when they were 11 weeks old.
Sixty-one days after Rainy went missing, they received a notification about a cat that had their cat’s identification number. Rainy was found in Roseville, California, which is 190 miles from Salinas. An animal rescue organization had taken her in.
A woman discovered Rainy and reported that she was in poor condition. The woman handed Rainy over to the organization, which then used her microchip to locate her owners.
Overall, Rainy traveled more than 1,000 miles from Wyoming to Roseville and then back home. The couple said they didn’t believe the cat would return to California, but they are happy she is home.
