Cat who survived 380-foot fall from canyon gets adopted by rescuer

  • In April at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, Matthew Nannen and Bailee Crane fell 380 feet, dying with their cat Mirage surviving the fall.
  • The fall prompted tourists to alert rangers who found the owners' bodies, while Chelsea Tugaw, the on-duty search and rescue pilot, discovered Mirage alive in a soft-sided pet carrier.
  • Mirage was found with two fractured ribs and damaged teeth, and was taken to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, where she began her recovery under medical care.
  • Chelsea said, "We couldn't believe the cat was alive" and felt a "special connection" with rescuing her, saying she hopes to give Mirage "the perfect retirement life."
  • After sensing a special bond with Mirage, Chelsea went back to the sanctuary to officially adopt her, since the family of Mirage’s late owners was unable to take her in.
