Benny and Susanne Anguiano lost their cat Rayne Beau in the trees while on holiday in June, and gave up hope after five days of searching
A cat that went missing on a camping trip in Yellowstone national park has been reunited with its owners after travelling more than 800 miles home to California.
Benny and Susanne Anguiano lost their cat Rayne Beau in the trees while on holiday in June.
After searching for the cat for five days and laying out its favourite toys and treats, they decided to return home, believing they had lost him forever.
But two months later, the cat has emerged at an animal shelter in Roseville California, 800 miles away, near the couple’s home in Salinas.
In a post on Facebook, Mr Anguiano said Rayne Beau (pronounced “rainbow”) had lost 40 per cent of his body weight and had blood sugar and protein levels that were “near starvation mode”.
He was recovered by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who contacted the couple to inform them their pet had been found in the street by a local woman.
“We had to leave without him,” Mrs Anguiano told the local news outlet KSBW. “That was the hardest day because I felt like I was abandoning him.”
She said that as the couple drove away from their campsite, she saw a double rainbow that gave her hope they would see their cat again.
“We were driving along and out of nowhere, these double rainbows appear, and it just knitted it all together for me,” she said.
