Ana Fontana never gave up hope that she'd be reunited with Trotskaya, the cat she rescued from a foreclosed home seven years ago.

A New Jersey resident, Fontana is in a long-distance relationship with a man who lives in Arizona, Steve Krueger. They were driving from Arizona to New Jersey in mid-June when they stopped for lunch in Crestview, Florida. They left Trotskaya, aka Trotsy, in the car with the window rolled down some, and when a storm came in, she was scared and went out the window and into the hood of the car. She took off again when the car was started, her neck nicked by the car fan.
