he Guelph Humane Society reunited ‘BooBoo’, the female brown tabby cat, with her family after being lost for four years. The twist – BooBoo originally went missing in Watsonville, California in 2013.
BooBoo was found as a stray in Morriston and brought to the GHS on March 17. On arrival, as with all animals, BooBoo was scanned for a microchip.
Her microchip information lead to her owners in Watsonville, California, through the Santa Cruz Animal Shelter.
The family had filed a lost report in 2013, when BooBoo went missing from its home.
A GHS Animal Protection Officer drove BooBoo to Buffalo on March 31 to reunite her with her family at the border.
“No one can believe it when we tell them. If only BooBoo could tell us about her adventure,” said Adrienne McBride, executive director of the Guelph Humane Society.
“BooBoo should be the poster-cat for how important it is to microchip your pet, keep your contact information up-to-date, and file a lost report when a pet goes missing.”
