Francine finds her way home

Francine the cat could be what some consider a local legend at the Lowe’s store in Virginia where she’s lived for the last nine years.

🔍 So when the calico cat went missing last month, residents around town were understandably panicked. An impressive viral search ensued, involving security camera footage and thermal drones, with tens-of-thousands of people following along on social media. Francine was eventually found safely at a distribution center 85 miles away in North Carolina.

A little over two weeks after her disappearance, the kitty received a hero’s welcome back home.
