On Tuesday, Dec. 20, Middletown Animal Control in Middlesex County shared the happy update about the cat who went missing at an I-91 rest stop back in July.
"Get your tissues ready because we have the greatest story about our own Christmas Miracle," Animal Control said in the announcement.
The organization said it received a call after last week's snowfall about a black cat in the I-91 median near the rest stop where Minka went missing.
Officers set humane traps in the area, and Minka was found in one of the traps on Monday, Dec. 19.
They brought her back to the shelter and confirmed the cat was Minka after checking her microchip.
"She was dirty, skinny and covered in ticks, but otherwise OK! Her Mom & Dad were ecstatic and amazed! Susan drove the 4 hours from Vermont today and the reunion was so sweet," Animal Control said. "Minka knew her Mom instantly and put her head right in her hand. Susan never thought this day would come but she never stopped hoping anyway."
