RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A cat that vanished in South
Carolina two years ago is going home after ending up nearly 2,000
miles away in Southern California.
Kevin the orange tabby is leaving Palm Springs on Wednesday
after disappearing from Anderson, South Carolina, in 2013.
John Welsh of Riverside County Animal Services says the cat
turned up in early March inside a U-Haul trailer a woman had driven
across the country.
During a routine inspection, the inspector heard meowing. The
driver says she didn't know Kevin was inside.
The dehydrated cat was taken to a shelter. His microchip helped
track down owner Cheryl Walls, who jokes that Kevin has seen more
of the country than her.
She says somebody must have cared for Kevin. But who — and how
Kevin got into the trailer — are mysteries.
