Cat Disappears in Florida....
.....and reappears in California. Seven years later.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/n...l=chi-news-hed http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...GC767J0C13.DTL (the 1st link is a wire-service report, the 2nd link has a small photo and additional background info) The gist of the above articles is that a stray cat was turned in to San Francisco's Department of Animal Care and Control. They scanned the cat, found a chip, and discovered that the cat belonged to a woman in Bradenton, Florida - 3000 miles away. The cat, a black short-hair named Cheyenne, was adopted by a woman in Bradenton in 1997. A few months later she (Cheyenne) disappeared. The woman hung fliers and ran ads, but had no luck in finding her cat. Until she got a call from her local shelter earlier this month... Cheyenne is in very good condition. Authorities think that a former neighbor probably decided to keep Cheyenne for themselves, then moved to SF. No one has contacted Animal Control claiming to be Cheyenne's owner, but the microship provides legal identification of her true owner in Florida, wh retains legal rights. Interestingly enough, the shelter Cheyenne was adopted from was one of the first in Florida to microchip its animals. They're currently trying to find a way to get Cheyenne, who is now 10 years old, back home. Animal Control can't afford to ship her to Florida, so workers there have been looking for a volunteer traveller to carry her on a plane trip with them. SF Animal Control's website is at http://www.sfgov.org/site/acc_index.asp There's a link to information about Cheyenne there. They've also got a link to Cheyenne's Bradenton animal shelter: http://www.bishop-spca.org/ Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha http://www.jhedge.com |

Gee, too bad this didn't happen about three weeks ago! I live in the Bay Area and I flew to Florida in early April. I would have been more than happy to take the little cutie with me. Joyce |
