Otherwise she looked exactly the same. She&#8217;s still a very petite brown tabby that I had 11 1\/2 years ago,&#8221; she said.\n<\/p>\n<p>De Castro said Loli is being kept separate from her other pets until she receives results from her veterinary check-up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wish cats could talk so that she could tell me where she&#8217;s been &#8230; but I&#8217;m glad she&#8217;s come to me now to be taken care of in her older golden years,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>A California cat was reunited with her owner last year after an even longer period &#8212; 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control said Officer Luis Leal responded to a call about an injured stray cat on a Palmdale resident&#8217;s front porch in February 2020, and Leal brought the feline to the Palmdale Animal Care Center.<\/p>\n<p>The cat was scanned for a microchip and identified as Brandy, a feline who had been missing for 15 years.
