A cat that many believed was killed along with its owner in a huge mudslide has been found three years later. A mudslide is a large mass of wet earth that suddenly and quickly moves down the side of a mountain. The natural disaster happened in January 2018 in the American state of California. The Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP) in Santa Barbara County says someone brought the cat to the organization last month. The animal’s name is Patches. A microchip exam confirmed her identity. Patches had been missing since January 9, 2018. On that day, a rainstorm near the area of a large wildfire sent a mudslide through hillside neighborhoods of Montecito, about 140 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles. The mudslide killed 23 people, including the cat’s owner Josie Gower. The destruction of the mudslide was so terrible that the bodies of two victims were never found. The ASAP shelter says Patches was found less than 400 meters from where her Montecito home used to be.
