SAN DIEGO — ‘Twas a very merry Christmas for a cat named Sophia!

She went missing from her family in Arizona seven years ago and found her way to the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA over the weekend. Thanks to her microchip, the San Diego Humane Society was able to contact Sophia’s family, and a Humane Society staff member will be flying Sophia back to Phoenix today.

“We heard that the family was unable to get Sophia back home to Arizona so we decided to do whatever it takes to get her back to them,” said Gary Weitzman, president of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA.
