A senior kitty is headed for home in Ontario after more than five years on the missing list for Find Lost and Escaped Cats (FLEC) in Greater Victoria.

The Colwood cat reported missing in late February was found not long later near Royal Bay bluff. But it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 actually the beginning of this cat香蕉视频直播檚 tale, FLEC president Jill Oakley said.

The Highlands resident runs FLEC and FLED (the original non-profit society launched in 2013 to locate dogs), but doesn香蕉视频直播檛 serve as administrator of the cat side of the business, so didn香蕉视频直播檛 have a name for the 13-year-old fluffy feline.

However, he was first reported missing about five years ago by his vet tech human. While she was forced to move away from Greater Victoria, the owner didn香蕉视频直播檛 ever give up hope, Oakley said.

In 2018 a cat called Diva hitched a ride in a moving van from Calgary to Duncan, Oakley recalled. She was also microchipped and scored a flight back to Alberta.
