HARRISON, Michigan - A British couple travelled more than 6,000 kilometres to adopt "Sparky," a black-and-white kitten in central Michigan.
Rose and Chris Rasmussen discovered Sparky on Petfinder.com last year and decided to adopt him.
The couple travelled from their suburban London home to the Clare County Animal Shelter in Harrison, where the kitten was an unofficial mascot. They could have had Sparky shipped, but instead decided to make the trip as an adventure.
After paperwork, quarantine and other final checks, the Rasmussens were to take Sparky to his new home.
Volunteer Betty Beadle told a local newspaper, the Morning Sun of Mount Pleasant, that Sparky likes to explore and twice destroyed Christmas trees during his roughly nine-month stay at the shelter.
