A family in Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, lost their cat Marley when she escaped her harness on a walk. They searched for her and put up notices, but heard nothing back. That was in 2012. Then in December of 2021, a stray cat was brought to PawPurrs Halfway House animal shelter. There, Katie Hayes scanned the skinny, disheveled cat for a microchip but found none. A second scan revealed a chip with Marley's name and a phone number.
The family still had the same phone number, and were shocked to hear that Marley has been found. Hayes was quite shocked, too, to find that Marley had been missing for nine years! The now 20-year-old cat had an emotional reunion with her family.
Still, no one knows where Marley has been or what she's done all that time. It doesn't matter much now that Marley will have a Merry Christmas at her home. -via Nag on the Lakeā
