Cheyenne the cat, who was picked up by San Francisco animal control earlier this month, was reunited Wednesday with her owner, who was flown in courtesy of Ellen DeGeneres.

“Ellen is a huge animal lover,” said Michelle Gross, a spokeswoman for the talk show host. “When she heard about this woman being separated from her cat, she just wanted to help reunite her and have her on the show.”

After picking up Cheyenne from the city’s Animal Care and Control department, Pamela Edwards and her daughter went to Los Angeles to tape a future episode of DeGeneres’ show.

I mentioned Cheyenne here last week. Glad to see she’s going home.
