Owner Reunites With Cat Years After He Went Missing: 'Remembered His Mom'

An owner believed she received a sign from her late husband after getting an unexpected call about her cat who had gone missing years earlier. About two to three years ago, Aurora and her husband lived in San Jose with their cat and newborn, but heartbreak struck when their cat named Fat Boy went missing. They searched endlessly to find their fur baby, but he never showed up and their hope quickly faded.

The years went by without their Fat Boy and then Aurora's husband, unfortunately, passed. But in February of this year, she received an unexpected phone call from the San Francisco SPCA, which she believed to be a sign from her husband. During a routine trap and neuter program with the San Francisco SPCA, a team of volunteers gathered stray and feral cats to them.

They also checked for microchips, which is when they discovered one of the had an owner registered on the microchip. That cat turned out to be Fat Boy. Senior Manager of Communications Naomi Weisenberg told that the cat "ended up in a cat colony" and when he was brought in, they discovered his microchip and Aurora's contact information.

He managed to be found an hour away from where he lived all these years later. The video posted to the was a throwback from the day they reunited in February of this year. Aurora walked into the room with Fat Boy and patiently waited until he made contact first.

But it didn't take long. Even after all those years, he "remembered his mom." Tears started flowing and Fat Boy wouldn't le.
