Tiki is an indoor only spayed six year old DSH. She does not have a collar, but does have a microchip.
She opened the front door and escaped as her person was in another room. A few minutes after Tiki took off, a cat fight was heard out in front of her home. Her people looked all over for her, but could not find her.
The GPS tracking stopped working while we were out in the far reaches of an open space. Looking at the map, our tracked continued along the same trail, all the way to the distant parking lot, then into the Google campus, including the large soccer field. At this point, it was getting dark, and we had to stop. The total distance was probably around twelve to thirteen miles. Her people are going to keep looking for her.
The blue pin off of Embarcadero, near the freeway is where we tracked her to a fence behind a house. Tiki went through a hole in the fence and onto the other side onto Sierra Court. Here the track continued.

I got a call from the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter on Friday, February 10, 2012. They had Tiki! Someone found her 3 months prior at their work-site. They took her home, and after trying (for months apparently) to get her to like the other cats in the home, they gave up and turned her into the shelter. I still don't know how she got to the Santa Cruz area, and will probably never know. She's healthy, but now overweight. She remembers home and me and seems happy to be back.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news! I bet the person who found her has some connection to Santa Cruz, knew where the shelter was and just brought her there, and probably said they found her in the local area. I am glad she is back safe at home!
