The Anna Akhmatova Museum in St. Petersburg announced the return of Osya, “the oldest museum cat,” who has lived there for 13 years. He went missing last week and museum staff were desperate to find him.

Osya disappeared on the evening of October 8 from the arch leading to the garden of the Fountain House, where the museum is located. Employees checked the surveillance cameras and found out that the cat was taken by an unknown girl. The museum asked her to urgently return the animal.

The fact is, said Yulia Malinina, deputy director of the museum, that Osya is ill. In January of this year, the cat was partially paralyzed. The veterinarian feared that he would die, but enhanced treatment saved his life. Now the cat needs to be given medication every day. “We are very hurt that the health and life of Oska is now under threat. A few more days and the continued effect of the drugs will stop, ”wrote Malinina.

It seems that the whole of Petersburg was looking for Osya. The museum reported his disappearance on social networks, contacted the police, and also promised a cash prize and a lifetime free admission to anyone who provides information about the whereabouts of the cat. The search for the Axis was reported by the city and federal media. We at Meduza were also worried about the cat. And on October 12, he finally returned home.

The press secretary of the museum, Anastasia Ozerskaya , told Komsomolskaya Pravda that they received a call from a girl who took Osya away. She saw the museum's ads online and decided to return the animal. “The girl explained that she saw a homeless ginger cat in the alley. Thought he was a wanderer. I wanted to help and shelter, ”said Ozerskaya.
