Prodigal kitty returns home five years after Katrina: Seven-year-old cat found 15 miles away is identified by implanted microchip

“‘Do you have a gray and white cat?’” Noble said a humane society employee asked when she returned the call. Scrub is a Russian blue and tabby, mostly gray with white markings. The other cats had been gray, said the Sun Herald report.

“You have my cat! Oh my gosh!” she remembered saying. “That cat has been missing for five years!”

She said the employee replied, “‘Oh my gosh. Well, Merry Christmas!’”
