And here’s a happy ending to the recent kidnapping of a griddle shop cat in Kaohsiung that captured hearts online! The orange-and-white shop cat “Chuan-chia,” was stolen by a stranger while he was taking in the sunshine outside his owner’s shop. After being missing for nearly 39 nerve-racking hours, he is finally back home. The 16-year-old cat was recognized by the tiny birthmark near his nose. He’s dirty and exhausted, but safe, and is hiding under a car just 600m away, presumably after being released by his abductor. To celebrate his return, Chuan-chia’s relieved owner is planning to give away 1,000 servings of griddle cakes for free.

The orange-and-white cat that everyone has been looking for is finally home.

Called Chuan-chia, meaning “FamilyMart,” this is the cat that went missing outside the griddle cake store his owners run. He was found hiding under a car, and was recognized thanks to the birthmark near its nose.

Mr. Yang
Chuan-chia’s owner
We were looking for him until past midnight, without success. He told us he had a knack for finding cats. He went out, and half an hour later located Chuan-chia.

The reunion back at the griddle cake shop was full of hugs. Chuan-chia was found at an apartment complex some 600m away from the shop, 39 hours after his disappearance.

Mr. Yang
Chuan-chia’s owner
He was dirty, and his eyes were vacant.

Now that Chuan-chia is back, his owner can’t keep his hands off him. Upon the cat’s return, he immediately brushed the dirt off him and gave him the care he needs as a senior 16-year-old kitty. During his absence, Mr. Yang was worried sick. When police located the catnapper and asked where the cat was, she simply said she’d already let him go.

Mr. Yang
Chuan-chia’s owner
The family of the kidnapper said they were confused as to why they had an extra cat at home, so they just released him. The second time they were asked about it, they said they tried to scan the chip to no avail. The third time they said they have a cat at home that looks a lot like Chuan-chia.

CCTV camera footage helped police locate where the catnapper lived, but didn’t make it on time to prevent her from setting the cat free on the streets, turning him into a stray for the night. Fortunately, a kind-hearted cat whisperer found the missing cat and returned him. To thank the public, the shop owner is planning to give out 1,000 free servings of griddle cakes and celebrate Chuan-chia’s return.
