"Feels Like a Miracle": Viennese Tomcat Was Missing for a Year - Now Back with Family

Thanks to his microchip and the quick help of animal rescue, the cat was allowed to return home the same day.

Cat "Spot" Discovered in Garage in Vienna-Donaustadt

The cat was discovered last week in a garage in Vienna-Donaustadt. The alerted animal rescue brought the animal to the TierQuarTier Vienna, where reading the chip revealed that the cat had been reported missing for about a year.

"Such moments are simply priceless. When an animal returns to the arms of its family after such a long time, it is pure joy," said TierQuarTier operations manager Thomas Benda. "We never thought we would see Spot again. It feels like a small miracle," added the family.

The TierQuarTier points out that returning the animal to the family was only possible through chipping and subsequent registration in a pet database. It is also emphasized that found animals should not simply be kept. "Many cats that appear to be strays at first glance have a home and are sorely missed. In case of doubt, the pet finding service at +43 1 4000-8060 or a nearby veterinarian should always be contacted to have the chip checked," it was stated in a release on Wednesday.
