Missing County Durham Cat Found 300 Miles Away in Inverness

Sophie Carty, a 25-year-old from County Durham, experienced a rollercoaster of emotions when her cat Luna went missing in November 2024, only to be found four months later in Inverness, over 300 miles away. After weeks of searching amidst heavy snow and storms, she received the surprising news that Luna had been discovered locked in a shed at a hotel. Thanks to Luna's microchip, registered with Petlog, Sophie was quickly reunited with her pet, who was in poor health but alive. Upon returning home, Luna showed signs of malnourishment and possible nerve damage, but after veterinary care, she began to recover. Sophie expressed her disbelief at Luna's journey, speculating on how she could have traveled to Inverness, and emphasized the importance of microchipping pets to ensure their safe return. Luna's remarkable story has drawn attention to the need for pet owners to keep microchip details updated.
