Kitten Reunited With Its Owner, Fifteen Years After They Were Separated
Fifteen years is a long time to lose a pet, and even longer to hope for a happy ending. For one cat owner, that ending finally arrived in the most unexpected way.
The story centers on Charles and his cat, Brandy, who were separated for years before finding their way back to each other. What makes it stand out is not just the reunion itself, but how unlikely it seemed after so much time had passed.
Some reunions really do feel like they came out of nowhere.
This story begins all the way back in 2005—and the world was a very different place back then! In 2005, Charles adopted an adorable brown tabby named Brandy.
Brandy was just two months old when she was adopted, and she spent several happy months with Charles. That was until the unthinkable happened.
Brandy loved to explore the outdoors, and one sad afternoon, she went out into the backyard and never returned home. Charles was devastated by her disappearance.
Charles searched everywhere for Brandy, but as time went on, he knew a reunion would be less and less likely. He hoped that she was still okay and had been adopted by someone loving.
Eventually, Charles had to move on. He moved away and eventually adopted two more cats.
However, fifteen years later, Charles received a phone call that he had only dreamed about. A random number called, and when he answered, it was the Palmdale Animal Care Centre, informing him about an injured cat they had found that they thought might be his.
Charles was confused, but the vets had checked the information on the microchip of the lost cat. The cat was found only 65 kilometers (40 miles) from where he lived, and while his address had changed, his phone number was still the same.
And just like the owner’s shock when “that microchip” led to Little Buddy’s emotional reunion after five years.
The next day, Charles went down to the animal centre to see who they had found. The cat turned out to be Brandy, the cat he had lost so many years ago.
After all these years, Brandy was older and thinner, but she was still the sweet cat that Charles remembered. Charles even shed some tears over their heartwarming reunion.
They are not sure what happened to Brandy during the years she was missing from Charles' life, but they assume that someone took her in and cared for her, yet never bothered to check her microchip. Sadly, since Charles already had two cats, he was unable to take Brandy back in.
Luckily, his sister volunteered, and Brandy, after a 15-year absence, is back in their family—and Charles will visit her all the time.
Fifteen years is a long time to be separated from someone, and it is miraculous that they managed to reunite after so long! There was definitely some alignment of the stars required to reunite Charles with his beloved Brandy.
This story of a reunion between a cat owner and a brave cat is definitely some kind of miracle. Cats and dogs go missing all the time, but the longer they are missing, the less hope some people have of getting their beloved pets back.
The fact that some pets are so curious that they love to explore is something we cherish about them, but their sense of adventure sometimes leads them to get lost. On other occasions, people may assume that a pet is lost and take it in without checking its microchip, inadvertently kidnapping someone else’s pet.
