A New Jersey family got quite a surprise when they saw a photo on Facebook of their lost cat who was more than 200 miles (321 kilometers) from their home.
A woman living in the town of Greene, New York, first found the animal, and decided to turn to social media to try to find its owner, reports CNN.
“I looked out the window and saw a cat running in the pasture,” said Debbie Bates. I made a post to try to find her owner and say that if no one came forward, I was going to keep her.
But a lady from New Jersey contacted him, much to his surprise.
“I thought it was really strange because I don’t know anyone who’s from New Jersey,” she said. I finally told my husband that we absolutely had to call him to ask him how it was possible that we ended up with his cat.”
The lady later explained to them that her feline had inadvertently jumped into a trailer transporting bales of hay from New Jersey.
The cat’s owners then traveled to Greene to pick up their animal.
