Tucson Cat Missing For 5 Years Reunites With His Family After Being Found 1,200 Miles Away

Sharing is caring!

A cat named Luke who’d been missing for five long years has been found and reunited with his family – over 1,200 miles from where he vanished!

This incredible journey took him from a gas station in Brinkley, Arkansas, all the way back to Tucson, Arizona, where his loving owners, Cindy and Jeff Hall, eagerly awaited the reunion.

The couple rescued this adorable Russian Blue as a tiny kitten from Tucson’s Pawsitively Cats shelter over a decade ago. For seven joyful years, Luke was the heart of their home, filling their lives with love and affection.

But one day, in a moment of misfortune, Luke ran out of their home and never returned. The Halls searched tirelessly, plastered flyers everywhere, but Luke was nowhere to be found.

The couple later moved to Nevada, but they never lost hope that they might see their cherished pet again.

Five years later, the most unexpected thing happened!

Pawsitively Cats received a shocking call – the adventurous cat was discovered at a gas station in Brinkley, Arkansas, a truly astonishing distance from where he originally disappeared!

He was identified via microchip and taken to the Jacksonville Animal Hospital in Little Rock, AR.

Pawsitively Cats immediately shared the breathtaking news with Cindy and Jeff. The couple was overjoyed to learn that their beloved cat was not only alive but on his way home, as the shelter shared in a Facebook post:

“We contacted his family to find out how Luke wound up being left at that gas station; they were thrilled to know he was alive and are eagerly looking forward to having him home again.”

Reuniting Luke with his family was no easy task. The incredible volunteer group called Alone 2 Home took on this challenge and made the reunion possible.

These caring humans drove the nineteen-hour drive to bring Luke safely back to Tucson. Once he arrived, his owners drove from Nevada to Tucson, to finally reunite and embrace their long-lost cat.

Pawsitively Cats shared their reflections on this remarkable story, expressing their awe and wonder:

“Whew! If only Luke could tell us how he wound up so far from home, we’re sure it would be a fabulous story.”

I can only imagine the adventures Luke must have had on his journey!
