Cat Miraculously Survives Three Weeks Trapped in a Sofa During Family's Cross-Country Move
A family’s worst nightmare turned into a miracle when their beloved cat, Sunny-Loo, was discovered alive after being trapped inside their sleeper sofa for three weeks during a cross-country move. The Hanson family had feared the worst after losing their feline companion in Washington state, only to find her in the most unexpected place—inside their own furniture—when their belongings finally arrived in Colorado.
A Family's Heartbreak
The Hansons, including parents Andy and Kristen and their two daughters, Hannah and Adalyn, were devastated when Sunny-Loo went missing just as movers arrived to help with their relocation. "Poor Sunny, she got scared, and in the past when she’s scared, she runs and hides," Andy Hanson explained. They had even purchased a carrier to fly their cat with them, but Sunny-Loo was nowhere to be found.
Despite frantic searching, they had no choice but to continue their move, leaving behind their cherished pet and holding onto fading hope. "It was hard on my heart, and I was really sad," 12-year-old Hannah said, recalling the heartbreak of leaving without their furry friend.
The Miracle Meow
Weeks passed, and despite continued searches by friends and neighbors in Washington, there was no sign of Sunny-Loo. That changed when the family’s furniture finally arrived in Colorado. As the Hanson daughters sat on their sofa bed, they were startled by a faint sound. "We heard a meow!" Hannah exclaimed.
To their shock, they found Sunny-Loo trapped inside a hole in the sofa. The orange feline, weak and severely emaciated, had managed to survive three weeks without food or water, hidden in a confined space.
Recovery and Reunion
Sunny-Loo was immediately rushed to an animal ICU, where she spent three days receiving emergency care. Despite her ordeal, the resilient cat made a remarkable recovery and was joyfully reunited with her family. "I thought this is crazy. It’s been three weeks," Andy Hanson said, still in disbelief at the unexpected reunion.
This incredible survival story is a testament to the resilience of pets and the unbreakable bond they share with their families. Sunny-Loo’s journey from lost to found is one that will remain in the hearts of the Hanson family forever.
