Pet Cat Who Went Missing For 11 Years Has Emotional Reunion With Owners

A family have been reunited with their pet cat 11 years after he went missing thanks to a tenacious stranger.


Carol O'Connell, who works at the Dutchess County SPCA (DCSPCA) in New York, noticed a stray cat coming to her house over a period of three years.

She gradually won his trust and was eventually able to get close enough to pet him.

DCSPCA said on Facebook:

“On a whim, she borrowed a scanner from the shelter and discovered the cat was micro-chipped."
“With information from the chip we were able to locate the owner, and discovered the cat had been missing for 11 years!"

The shelter made contact with the owners of the cat, whose name is Tiger, and they have now been reunited.

The Welz family, who live just a few miles from the shelter, had not seen their pet since he went missing when he was three years old.

Maggie Welz told CBS New York:

“After months of effort he was never found, or no info provided, so this is crazy after 11 years."

Despite more than a decade apart, Tiger is settling back into his home as if he had never been away.

Mrs Welz said:

“Each night I've slept with him, he crawls right up on me and I just look at him and think I can't believe that you're home with us."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
