Clearly, she wasn’t ready to come home. The great outdoors can seem like quite the adventure for runaway pets!

Cat Depot’s partners for the 2015 Giving Challenge - Honor Animal Rescue - spotted Petunia playing with their puppies, but cats are fast, and she managed to escape before they realized she was there unsupervised.

Things took a turn for the worse when Petunia’s collar was found on the ground. Now how was she going to get home?
