Disappeared since 2014, the angora cat Poupoune found her mistress in the Sarthe last week, in Saint-Mars-la-Brière, under the terms of an incredible odyssey. It was indeed a motorist who discovered the animal, in very bad shape, between Cornillon-Confoux and Grans, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, more than 800 km from his home.
Supported by the Salon-de-Provence SPA, the cat is then treated by a veterinarian who discovers that it is microchipped. Its owners are quickly identified. “I left a message on Elyssia's cellphone, Poupoune's mistress, who called me back during the day. She couldn't believe it, especially since she never lived here! We have no idea how this cat got to us, ”says Julie, responsible for cats at the shelter. "But she was delighted, since she took it over, she gives us news every day. "
"The Importance of Chipping Cats"
After initial photo exchanges, Poupoune was brought home thanks to the solidarity of SPA volunteers working at SNCF, a first accompanying him to Paris and a second in Sarthe. “We already knew the same story a few months ago. We were able to return a cat lost for years to someone who had left the region, said Noëlle, another volunteer. It shows the importance of sucking cats. We could never have identified them otherwise.
