A family in Denver donated an old recliner to a thrift store when they were moving, not knowing their beloved catMontequlla was hiding inside. Imagine the surprise the workers who discovered the stowaway inside the piece of FUR-niture felt!

The thrift store immediately got in touch withDenver Animal Protection to come pick up the ginger cat and check for a microchip to try and find the owner. Sadly, the chip had not been updated.

Thankfully though, whenMontequlla's family realized she was missing, they immediately called the thrift store who put them in touch with the animal rescue organization.Montequlla was reunited with her family soon after.

We are glad this tail had a happy ending, and 'curiosity did not kill the cat'
