VISALIA, California — Max the cat is home
after a year of being gone.
Max went missing from Beki Osborn's home
in Visalia, California last year.
"I called the microchip people and
told them what had happened and then waited," Osborn said. "And I
didn't hear anything until yesterday."
Somehow, Max made it all the way to the
Ghalleger's home in Carmichael, a suburb of Sacramento and 200 miles north of
Osborn's home.
They fed him for a few days and then
tried to find out where he came from. Karin Ghalleger took the cat to be
scanned for a microchip, which identified Osborn as his owner.
The Ghallegers drove Max home earlier
this week.
"We want him to be home. He's been
gone long enough," Karin Ghalleger said. "A year is a long time to be
without your cat."
Osborn had given up on the reunion, and
couldn't believe it when the Ghallegers rolled into her driveway.
"I was stunned, I was absolutely
stunned. I was so glad I had him micro-chipped," Osborn said. "…My
emotions are all over the place with this. I was just like, ‘I can't believe
it's him,' ‘I know it's him,' ‘I can't believe this is real.' I am just all
over the place with this."
