happy endings for a cat missing for 7 years

But the sad part is that she was turned in by a family that could no
longer afford to care for her and must have also been heartbroken.

That is sad. What puzzles me is in all that time the cat never went to
the vet? When Persia (RB), who was a stray, came to live with me and I
took her to the vet the first thing they did was scan her for a microchip.

It's possible her "new" family took her to a vet but did not report that
she had been a lost/stray cat. Vets do not normally check for
microchips if they think the cat had been with the family for some time.
