Many people risk their lives to leave their home countries in search of a better life somewhere else. In Europe, many immigrants leave Africa and risk crossing the Mediterranean to make it land on France, Italy, or Greece.

In this case, an immigrant named Sama took her cat Lola along with her. When Sama got taken by authorities, a local animal welfare activist took Lola into quarantine to check for diseases. When Lola gets out of quarantine, the activist promises to reunite Lola with Sama once more.

Hopefully Sama can find a better life in Europe along with Lola. For a cat to survive a crossing that many humans don’t make is nothing short of remarkable. Perhaps Lola can bring good luck to Sama in the future.
