It is 2024 now. Recently, a lost Russian Blue cat named Luke has been reunited (团聚) with his owners, Cindy and Jeff Hall, five years after he disappeared from their Tucson home.

Twelve years ago, Cindy and Jeff Hall took Luke home as a baby cat from the Pawsitively Cats shelter. For seven years, Luke was an important member of their family until one day when he went out and didn’t return. Although they tried their best, which included searching their neighborhood and posting posters (海报), Luke remained missing for years. Finally, the Halls moved to Nevada, never giving up hope but believing they might never see their beloved cat again.

However, something amazing happened. Last month, Pawsitively Cats received an unexpected phone call informing them that Luke had been found at a gas station in Brinkley, Arkansas — over 1,200 miles away from his Tucson home. The shelter told Cindy and Jeff about the incredible news that their long-lost cat was not only alive but had been found. They said they couldn’t believe their ears.

Coordinating (协调) Luke’s journey back home was not easy. Alone 2 Home, a volunteer transportation group, stepped in to drive the 19-hour journey from Arkansas back to Tucson, making sure Luke’s safe return to his owners.

Reflecting on Luke’s journey, Pawsitively Cats took to social media to share their thoughts. “Whew! If only Luke could tell us how he went so far from home, we’re sure it would be an amazing story,” they wrote.
