A FAMILY has been reunited with their cat after it disappeared during a deadly wildfire last month that leveled their home in Northern California.

Courtney Werblow and her family returned to her parents’ burned home in Paradise over the weekend and found their beloved cat, Timber, standing near the ruins.

Werblow recorded a video of the emotional moment when she spotted the beige cat with a brown face looking at her from a distance.

She starts to cry as she calls Timber for a bowl of cat food. Courtney, her husband Mark and children Lowell and Ellie also lived in the home.

After some hesitation, Timber walks over to Werblow who declares in tears: “You made it! You made it.”

Werblow told news station ABC10 it was a much-needed moment of hope for her family and parents who lost everything in the Camp Fire.

In a Facebook post, Courtney wrote: “Our sweet cat Timber was FOUND yesterday, December 8th, exactly one month after the fire. The kids are so happy she survived. She’s been through so much, on her own, this past month. I am so thankful we found her!”

The heartwarming story comes as a woman who was forced to leave her dog behind due to the fire returned home to find the beloved pet waiting in the ashes where her house used to stand.

Volunteer organization K9 Paw Print Rescue shared a photo of the dog named Madison waiting patiently on the property when her owner, Andrea Gaylord, returned. (SD-Agencies)
