Cat named "Fat Albert" returned to Longhorn Coffee Shop in Santa Ynez

SANTA YNEZ, Calif. (KEYT) – The search is over for a missing cat named " Fat Albert."

The 17-year-old cat was returned to the Longhorn Coffee Shop in Santa Ynez before sunrise Wednesday morning.

The owner found the cat around 5:30 a.m.

The cat has been a fixture there for years and had a lot of visitors welcoming him back.

It appears someone may have taken Fat Albert during the recent storm.

The non-profit Animal Rescue Team Inc. helped spread the word and even offered a reward.

Now a fundraiser is underway to buy Fat Albert a kennel with heating and air conditioning.
