Camping trip gone wrong

Benny and Susanne Anguiano of Salinas, California, have gone camping with their cats before, so it was a no-brainer that they would accompany them on the couple’s June trip to Yellowstone National Park. But one night on the trip, poor Rayne Beau got scared and ran away.

The Anguianos spent the rest of their trip trying to find their missing kitten, but to no avail. They made the heartbreaking decision to leave Rayne Beau behind before returning home. But Susanne said the universe gave her hope that her cat was still there when the couple left the park.

“We were driving and out of nowhere these double rainbows appear, and that brought everything together for me,” says Susanne Anguiano. This had to be a good sign: rainbows are Rayne Beau’s namesake.

Two months later, the Anguianos finally received surprisingly good news. Rayne Beau managed to walk to a shelter in Roseville, California, more than 800 miles from Yellowstone. What’s more, Rayne Beau reportedly also prevented a coyote attackaccording to Benny Anguiano.

Remember to microchip your pet

Although Rayne Beau’s journey was brave, the shelter was eventually able to contact the Anguianos thanks to Rayne Beau’s microchip.
