Associated Press – BOSTON Three weeks after escaping from a pet carrier at Boston’s Logan International Airport, a family’s cherished pet cat was finally caught on Wednesday.
A representative for the airport said, “Whether out of exhaustion or hunger we’ll never know, but this morning she eventually let herself be apprehended.” The cat was named Rowdy.
Rowdy was examined for her health and will soon be reunited with her family. Owner Patty Sahli was “sort of in disbelief,” as she put it. “The idea crossed my mind, “What are the odds we’re truly going to get her back?” I got a call this morning that just threw me off.”
On June 24, Rowdy went on the run when Sahli and Rich returned to the United States from 15 years in Germany as members of the United States Army. The four-year-old black cat with green eyes escaped her Lufthansa flight cage upon landing and immediately went in search of some birds.
After Rowdy’s escape triggered a large search including airport and Lufthansa staff, construction workers, animal welfare groups, and the use of wildlife cameras and safe-release traps, Rowdy soon found herself the subject of pursuit.
A measure of peace has been restored after multiple sightings failed to catch Rowdy; nevertheless.
Sahli, a New Hampshirite who is relocating to Florida, remarked, “It was such a community effort.” To paraphrase, “We are extremely appreciative to everyone who participated in the search for her.”
