Four Year Old Black Cat Named Rowdy found at Logan Airport
Back on June 24th, when an army family arrived in Boston from Germany after their 15 years of service overseas, their cat Rowdy, a beautiful female four-year-old black cat with green eyes, somehow escaped her kennel in pursuit of some birds.
Almost three weeks later on July 13th, Rowdy was finally captured after a huge effort from airport and Lufthansa personnel, construction workers, and animal welfare advocates.
They used wildlife cameras and safe-release traps where she was spotted several times around Terminal E.
We're glad Rowdy is now safe and sound, thanks to everyone for all their efforts at Boston's Logan Airport!!
