A cat which went missing in the chaotic aftermath of hurricane Katrina has been reunited with its owners.

Scrub had gone missing shortly after the hurricane hit. The electricity supply had been knocked out and the Noble family from Biloxi Mississippi, left without air conditioning had left a window open to cool the house down.

Scrub left the house through the open window. However, the hurricane had caused a lot of disruption to the area surrounding the Noble’s house. The surroundings must have been unrecognisable to the kitty and Scrub failed to return.

5 years later and the family had long since give up hope of being reunited with their beloved cat.

That was until they were contacted by the Humane Society of South Mississippi who had scanned the microchip of a cat at their centre and to the Noble’s amazement it was Scrub.

Reunited with the family Scrub is in good health despite his 5 year ordeal which has made him a little jumpy.

Speaking in the Daily Mail Jennifer Noble said:

“Today he still has his moments where he gets a little jumpy.”
“He is not as docile as he used to be. He’s got a little bit of wild in him”
