Jennifer Noble's Cat, Scrub, Returns Home 5 Years After Hurricane KatrinaOh, the stories he could tell. And Scrub teaches a lesson: live in the moment and make no assumptions.
BILOXI, Miss. — Five years after wandering away in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath, a gray and white cat named Scrub has been reunited with his Mississippi family
The Humane Society of South Mississippi says Scrub was identified by an implanted microchip. The 7-year-old cat was brought to the shelter by a Gulfport woman who'd fed him as a stray the past couple of months but worried about his safety during a cold snap.
Scrub's owner, Jennifer Noble, tells The Sun Herald newspaper that she was skeptical at first when she received a call from the shelter. But by the end of the first night back, Scrub had snuggled in bed with one of her boys.
The woman who'd been feeding him lives about 15 miles away. Noble says Scrub is in excellent condition.

A cat who belonged to a former co-worker of mine returned to her Gentilly home 2 years after the storm. Just came walking up the street one day. She was skinny & scruffy and had apparently been living on the streets all that time.
