Poldi, the cat, was found emaciated in a forest near the southern city of Munich and taken to the city’s animal sanctuary. Due to a tattoo behind his ear, Poldi was able to be quickly identified and his owner informed Eveline Kosenbach from the animal home.
“She really didn’t think she would see the cat again after such a long time,” Kosenbach said, adding that finding a cat alive following such an extended period was “an extremely unusual occurrence.”
The cat is definitely Poldi, she said, explaining that every animal is given a unique identification number. The woman, who has not been identified, will come to pick up the cat later this week.
