A Trip Gone Wrong
Benny and Susanne Anguiano often take their two cats along on family trips, and their visit to Yellowstone in June was no different. However, during a walk in the forest, Rayne Beau got spooked and bolted into the trees. The couple searched tirelessly for four days, leaving out his favorite toys and treats, but had no luck. Heartbroken, they returned home to Salinas, California, but Susanne held on to hope that they might see him again.
A Glimmer of Hope
Susanne felt a sign of reassurance on their journey home when she spotted a double rainbow over the Nevada desert. She believed it symbolized that Rayne Beau, whose name sounds like “rainbow,” would be alright. Little did they know, their faith would soon be rewarded. In August, the Anguianos received shocking news: their cat had been found at a shelter in Roseville, California, only 200 miles from their home but nearly 900 miles from where he had vanished.
Rayne Beau’s Incredible Journey
A kind stranger had spotted Rayne Beau wandering the streets of Roseville and took him to a local animal shelter. Upon scanning his microchip, the shelter contacted the Anguianos. The couple immediately drove to retrieve their cat, who had lost six pounds and was visibly worn from his journey. His paws were badly damaged, and he had suffered from malnutrition, yet he had survived the long trek back toward home.
Still a Mystery
Though Rayne Beau’s exact path remains a mystery, his owners are certain he tried to make his way back to them. They marvel at his endurance and survival skills, calling the entire situation a miracle. While they are overjoyed to have him back, the Anguianos have decided to be more cautious with future trips, practicing camping in their driveway to help their pets adjust.
Rayne Beau’s return is a remarkable testament to an animal’s resilience and instinct to find home. Despite the challenges he faced, he made an incredible journey back to his family. This story underscores the deep connection between pets and their owners.
