New Hampshire woman reunited with lost cat after four years

June 8 (UPI) -- A New Hampshire woman was reunited with her lost cat four years after the feline went missing.

The Salem Animal Rescue League said it was recently contacted by a woman who was preparing to leave the state and was concerned for the welfare of a stray cat that she had been feeding on her porch.

A SARL team was able to catch the feline and had him scanned for a microchip. The chip identified an owner, but the phone number was disconnected, officials said.

SARL contacted the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen, which the microchip identified as the facility where the cat had originally been adopted. The MSPCA was able to give SARL the address of the cat's owner.

Owner Casey Munroe said the now-11-year-old tabby, named Gigi, had been an indoor/outdoor cat before failing to come home about four years ago.
