Lost Katrina kitty reunited with owner in Atlanta

Tristan Carter holds her cat, Cupcake, after they were reunited in Atlanta, Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2006. Carter, displaced by Hurricane Katrina, had to leave behind all four of her pets when evacuating New Orleans. For nearly a half year after the hurricane, the cat lived on her own, never straying far from Carter's destroyed home. On Feb. 12, rescuers captured the cat in a humane animal trap.

"I lost a grandfather in the hurricane. To find a little kitty survived 6 months, that's great," said Carter, holding Cupcake close and thanking the rescuers who found her. In turn, Cupcake happily squeaked and, at least once, reached her head up to give Carter a kitty kiss with her nose.
