California family to reunite with missing cat found in southern Ontario
It’s anyone’s guess how BooBoo the cat travelled more than 3,000 kilometres from California to Canada, but its American owner says she can’t wait to be reunited with her brown tabby, who went missing four years ago.
Ashley Aleman, from Watsonville, Calif., said her mother received a voicemail from a Canadian animal shelter two weeks ago, notifying them that BooBoo had been found alive and well in southern Ontario.
The 21-year-old said the outdoor cat went missing in 2013.
“We have a lot of stray cats around the area, so we were like ‘maybe she wandered off with them,’” Aleman said. “And then we finally figured out she was not coming back, so we gave up looking after a while because there was nothing really we could do for her.”
