Jasper Family Reunites with Cat After 100 Days in Wilderness

Felix, a black-and-white cat, survived alone in the wild following the summer wildfire that devastated Jasper, Alberta.

Felix, a four-year-old cat, went missing after fleeing with his family during the Jasper wildfire evacuation in July 2024.
The wildfire destroyed one-third of Jasper’s homes and businesses, forcing 5,000 residents to evacuate the town.
Felix escaped from his family’s cabin in Valemount, B.C., leading to a months-long search involving posters, traps, and social media efforts.
On November 7, Felix was finally located 15 kilometers from the cabin after being spotted on a resident’s security camera and was safely trapped by his family.
Felix’s survival story has become a symbol of resilience for the Jasper community, offering hope amid the devastation caused by the wildfire.
