Missing cat returns home 475 days after it went missing in the Montecito Mudslide

The last time the Strogoff's saw Diamond was one day before the Montecito Mudslide destroyed their property and surrounding neighborhood.

The family decided to evacuate their home when warnings came in about the impending storm. They left quickly and couldn't round up their two cats, Diamond and Huguette, in time. When they returned home a few days later to assess the damage to their property, their pets were nowhere to be found.

The family had to relocate for a year until their property was repaired. They returned home in January 2019...

On Monday, Noelle was talking to a worker who was helping her with some renovations when she decided to tell him about her cat, Diamond.

The man, who didn't want to be identified, told Noelle that her desciption matched that of a cat he had been feeding for quite some time. They pulled out their cell phones and compared pictures.

"Twenty minutes later, I'm following him to his home and there's Diamond totally fine," she said.

People who spot pets that appear to be without a home, are urged to take a photo and share on Facebook or with the Humane Society.

Noelle also urged Montecito residents to keep their eyes and hearts open as the search continues for the remains of two children killed in the mudslide: 2-year-old Lydia Sutthithepa and 17-year-old Jack Cantin.

Nothing brings my cat faster than food hitting the bowl.

The magic sound of popping the lid off the can.

One of mine comes for the freezer door opening. I’m constantly adding ice to whatever I’m drinking, and when I dropped a piece one day, Leroy learned that it makes a fun toy. Now he’s always at my feet when I open the ice box.
