A heartwarming story of a missing cat reuniting with its owners has been winning hearts on social media. Benny and Susanne Anguiano, a couple from California, went on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park with their two pet cats — Rayne Beau and Starr — in June. While camping at the Fishing Bridge R.V. Park, Rayne Beau, a two-year-old male Siamese cat went missing into the Yellowstone National Park woods.
Despite an extensive search for five days, the owners were unable to find the feline. However, nearly two months after the incident, Rayne Beau miraculously traveled 800 miles from Yellowstone to reunite with his owners.
Missing cat returns home after 60 days and 800-mile journey
Two-year-old male Siamese cat Rayne Beau went missing while on a camping trip in Yellowstone National Park. Recently, he was reunited with his California owners, Susanne and Benny Anguiano.
The couple suddenly lost sight of the cat after he dashed into the woods. They waited for his return and went on to look for him in the area near their camping ground for five days. However, they could not find him and lost hope. Rayne Beau’s sister cat, Starr, even began to meow through the trailer’s screen door as she could not see her brother.
After five days, the California couple decided to return home to Salinas with heavy hearts. As per The New York Times, Mrs. Anguiano expressed her anguish over the situation by saying, “Leaving him (Rayne Beau) was unthinkable.” She continued, “I felt like I was abandoning him.”
However, almost two months after the feline went missing, something happened that was nothing short of a miracle. Rayne Beau was discovered wandering on Roseville streets in California. It was just three hours away from the Anguianos’ place. As first reported by KSBW, this was a distance of over 800 miles away from Yellowstone National Park.
A local worker for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals informed Susanne and Benny Anguiano that Rayne Beau had been identified by rescuers with the help of his microchip. Soon, the couple were reunited with their beloved cat. He had lost a lot of body weight, according to the owners. But, they further stated that Rayne Beau has been doing well since he returned home in early August.
