Looking at the 13-year-old cat, Lily, now, she purrs loudly and gladly accepts belly rubs and treats from her owner Jessica Kinsey of West Sacramento.Kinsey moved away from the home Lily went missing from, but she kept routinely checking local shelters and social media posts of lost animals since 2017, the last time she saw Lily."It doesn't happen often enough, so we are really encouraging everyone to microchip, microchip, microchip, it's how we make those reunifications happen, and we love it when it does," said Jamie Larson, the director of animal services at the Sacramento SPCA."If it wasn't for the chip, no, I never would have found her because I had done everything you could do without a chip," said Kinsey.Jessica suspects she may have found another temporary family in that time, or just gotten by with her hunting skills."
