Montreal cat returns home after 2 weeks on loose at Toronto Pearson airport

A Montreal woman named Abir Batikhi experienced a miraculous reunion with her cat Caramel after it went missing for over two weeks at Toronto Pearson Airport. Batikhi had brought four cats with her from Jordan to Montreal on August 17, but upon arriving in Montreal, she discovered that only three cats were present in their cages.

Airport officials informed Batikhi that Caramel had escaped onto the airport ramp area near Terminal 3 and ran towards gates 29 and 30. The cat was eventually located in a cargo facility at the airport and safely captured. Batikhi expressed her gratitude for the care, kindness, and support she received during the stressful and emotional search for her beloved pet.

Darcia Rohlehr, CEO of pet transportation company Paws En Route, stated that cases like Caramel's are extremely rare, with only 0.01 percent of the four million pets that travel annually experiencing an issue.
