MISSOURI (KMBC) — A long-lost cat is back home after being found in Raymore, Missouri, this weekend.
Raymore Animal Control shared the story on social media. A concerned citizen in Raymore found the cat Sunday and contacted police dispatch. Officers came out to retrieve the cat and scan her for a microchip.
Good news: She was microchipped, and she had contact information in the system. It turned out the cat, Harriet, had been missing for 11 months. The up-to-date information allowed officers to reunite Harriet with her family.
“Stories like Harriet’s are a powerful reminder of how important microchipping is,” Raymore Animal Control said on social media. “A simple chip can make all the difference in bringing a lost pet home, even after a long time apart.”
Animal Control thanked the citizen who stopped to help Harriet.
