Maine family’s lost cat turns up after six years – in Florida

Denis Cilley had given up her pet, Ashes, for dead but a microchip confirmed she had somehow made her way 1,500 miles away

A Maine family that long ago gave up on a lost family cat is being reunited - more than six years and 1,500 miles later.

Denise Cilley, of Chesterville, said she was shocked to get a voicemail last week announcing her cat, Ashes, had been located in Florida.
