Montreal cat returns home after 2 weeks on loose at Toronto Pearson airport
Abir Batikhi said Caramel was one of four cats she had travelling with her from Jordan to Montreal on Aug. 17.
A Montreal woman, Abir Batikhi, is overjoyed that her cat, Caramel, has returned home after a two-week adventure at Toronto Pearson Airport. Batikhi had brought four cats with her from Jordan to Montreal on August 17, but upon arrival, only three cats were found in their cages. Airport officials informed her that Caramel had escaped onto the airport ramp area near Terminal 3 and run towards gates 29 and 30.
Caramel was located in a cargo facility at the airport on Wednesday night and was safely captured. The wildlife team was able to focus their search efforts in the area where Caramel was ultimately found, thanks to information provided by an airport worker. Despite the wet and challenging conditions, Caramel is now safe and expected to arrive in Montreal on Friday.
Batikhi expressed her gratitude for the care, kindness, and support received during the stressful search for her cat. Airport officials stated that such incidents are extremely rare, with only 0.01 percent of the four million pets that travel annually experiencing an issue.
