The couple had decided to move and were preparing to start a new life with their daughter, their two cats, and their baby on the way.
On the way to their new life, they made a stop in Wyoming.
A heartbreaking discovery
The whole family was staying with friends. Sadly, just as Annie and Chris were about to get back on the road, they realised that one of their cats, a female named Lily, had disappeared. They searched absolutely everywhere for her. Lily was the couple's first 'baby', and she meant the world to them.
They decided to postpone their journey for a day to search the town for her. However, when the family had to get back on the road and leave Wyoming, they were utterly heartbroken. They thought they would never see Lily again...
An unexpected call
A few months later, the friends Annie and Chris had stayed with moved away, which seemed to dash any hope of finding Lily. Fortunately, fate had other plans. Two and a half years later, Annie and Chris received a call from a couple in Wyoming, telling them they had found their cat!
It turned out a local couple had been feeding the stray cats around their property. They spotted Lily's collar and managed to get close to her. The couple were then able to contact Annie and Chris to tell them they had found Lily.
Annie went to pick Lily up, and the reunion was both emotional and incredibly exciting! Lily is finally back with her family, enjoying some well-deserved cuddles after all her years away.
