The story begins in August in Lanmeur, in Finistère, where Sylvie went on vacation with Minou, her faithful companion. On the first day, the cat gets scared and runs away. Despite frantic searches, alerts to the local veterinarian, and hours spent calling for him, they can't seem to find him. Not microchipped, Minou remains missing. Heartbroken, his owner returns to Lyon without him.
The meeting that changes everything
Three weeks later, a local resident of Lanmeur, Sandra, encounters the lost cat in the greenery during a walk with her dog. Minou, hungry but still wearing his collar, ends up sheltering at her home through the cat flap. Touched, Sandra sets up a cozy spot for him and immediately posts an announcement on Pet Alert. Thanks to this act of kindness, magic happens: in Lyon, Sylvie instantly recognizes her beloved companion online.
Reunion at last!
A Wondrous Return to Lyon
There was still one challenge left: bringing Minou back home, over 900 kilometers away. In the end, some friends of Sylvie, living in Creuse, came up with an unexpected solution: a recovery by camper van. After a quick round trip, the old cat was able to reunite with his cozy Lyon sofa and get back to his routine. Since then, Sandra and Sylvie have kept in touch, bonded by this incredible and heartwarming adventure.
