Cat Lost For 2 Weeks In JFK Airport Found Alive

[douglas9]

While it only took a few hours for a wolverine roaming Newark airport to be caught and contained, an even more wily creature roamed a different airport in the New York metropolitan area for two weeks. Felix the cat, who was moving from the United Arab Emirates to the U.S. along with his owners, escaped from his carrier when the top was crushed. Fortunately, searchers found him safe and in good health.


While they’re happy to have their cat back, his owners are rather upset that they paid $1,200 to ship a pet in the cargo hold. “For them to take a cat and ship him like he was cargo, not a live animal, makes me sick,” one of his owners told CNN. “You trust that people care and are doing the job well, and then this happens.”

Searchers used trained dogs to sniff out where the cat had recently been, and placed humane traps in those areas. Two weeks after Felix went missing, he turned up in one of those traps.
