US EditionCat Who Survived 400-Foot Utah Canyon Fall Adopted by Rescuing Pilot
- Mirage, a cat who endured a fall of almost 400 feet in Bryce Canyon last month, survived the accident in which her owners tragically lost their lives.
- Following the fall, a crew member was lowered by hoist to recover Mirage, who was then transported to the animal care facility in Kanab operated by Best Friends for medical attention.
- Mirage endured several broken teeth, cracked ribs, and fluid accumulation in her chest likely due to trauma before being transported to Las Vegas, where medical treatment helped restore her lung function and overall health.
- Chelsea Tugaw, the helicopter pilot who rescued Mirage, adopted her and described the cat as surprisingly outgoing, always wanting to be a pet and purring.
- Mirage’s survival and new home represent two miracles, and Tugaw ensured the cat will be comfortable for her remaining years while watching her settle in well.
