The Cat Who Crossed States | Richmond News

A local Richmond cat named Francine, aka the Lowe’s Cat, vanished for three weeks—only to be found 400 miles away in North Carolina after hopping onto a semi-truck. Her wild cross-state adventure inspired a book, “Francine: Richmond’s Calico Queen,” signed by locals and now helping animal shelters—with proceeds and coffee shop donations going to SOS Cats RVA. It’s more than a cat story—it’s a tale of community, curiosity, and compassion that turned a missing pet into a civic hero.
