LOST CAT REUNITED AFTER 7 YEARS

Liyan Lajervardi had rescued a gray tabby kitten in 2011 that was born to a stray cat on a horse ranch in San Diego County.

“I loved her; she was with me every minute of every day. She was my pal at home. She even came to work with me.”

When Lajervardi had an offer to go teach English in Japan for a year, she left Kesha with friends. A few months before she was to return to the US, she received devastating news.

“Kesha left the house and just never came back.”

Fast forward seven years and Lajervardi was in Germany on a temporary assignment when she got a message from her sister.

“The San Diego Humane Society called; they found Kesha.”

Lajervardi said her first reaction was confusion. “It was completely out of the blue.” And then?

“I started crying. I called everyone, friends, and my best friend, I shared with everyone.”

Lajervardi said the Humane Society knew Kesha was hers because the cat was microchipped. Since she had disconnected her phone when she went to Germany, the Humane Society called her sister, who was her second point of contact on the microchip.

Kesha and Liyan on Facetime

Lajervardi’s sister picked up Kesha from the Humane Society and Facetimed it so that Lajervardi, who was still in Germany for about two more weeks, could be a part of it. Her mother kept Kesha until Lajervardi returned home, earlier this month.

Lajervardi is convinced that Kesha still remembers her.

“I think that she does have memory of me. She got very close to my face, smelled my lips and snuggled into me. She crawls into my lap, she wants to sleep with me, wants me to pet her. She’s still this amazing cat I remember from eight years ago.”

Lajervardi’s message to everyone: “Because of Kesha, I get to tell people to microchip your pet. They do work and it’s not very expensive. It’s worth it and I’m so glad I did it.”
