A real miracle: in France, a cat returned to its owner after 13 years of separation The cat, who escaped as a kitten in 2014, managed to reunite with its owner, writes Le Parisien. The Jaffer dolphin family searched for months for their little pet, but the search yielded no results. The owners took the loss so hard that they decided they would never have any more cats. But 13 years later the pet was found. An unexpected result came in October 2026. As it turned out, one of the local residents noticed the missing cat among the homeless. The animal was taken to a shelter, and a chip was found there. This is how experts were able to identify the former owner.
