Willow, also known as "Willow the cat",[1] is a calico cat who travelled 1,800 miles from Westminster, Colorado, to New York City. Willow was discovered in September 2011, 5 years after escaping during a renovation, when her implanted microchip was scanned at an animal shelter.[2] Anderson Cooper reunited Willow with her family, the Squireses, via satellite on September 15, 2011.[3] Willow was reunited in person with the Squireses on the night of September 22, 2011, and made an appearance on The Today Show with Matt Lauer on September 23, 2011.[4]
