Sushi is finally home “safe and sound,” according to Justin Bieber. On Friday, March 6, the singer revealed via Instagram that after nearly a month of searching, his cat — who had run away — was finally found!
“Almost a month ago, my pal sushi decided to run away, after weeks passing by Hailey and began to lose hope that our baby was gone,” Justin captioned his post, which included photos of Sushi. “Yesterday we got a call that somebody found our baby… It had made it miles and miles away!”
It turned out, the feline was found by another famous face. Food Network star and celebrity chef Sandra Lee penned a lengthy Instagram post where she recounted the story of finding Sushi roaming in her backyard.
“The cat almost darted away, then all of a sudden It was all over us, so very thin, very emaciated but so sweet. And it was so beautiful … I was thinking…..That is not an ordinary cat,” she wrote. “He was starving, cold, scared, exhausted and stuck with porcupine quills — but he was happy and excited all at the same time. Three cans of tuna and a bowl of warm milk later, the painful Quills have been removed and we are cuddling on the couch. Drowsy and milk drunk, the purring baby was calmed so we took the collar off and called the number.”
She continued, “I thought the young man on the other end of the phone was going to either burst out in shrieks of joy or burst out in tears — he was so happy, shocked and stunned…Still I [had] no idea who it was…It was THE SUSHI! Didn’t realized SUSHI THE CAT was a whole thing!”
Although Justin didn’t mention Sandra by name, in her Instagram post, the chef revealed that she had been officially dubbed “Aunt Sandy to Bieber Baby Lynx of a cat!”
For those who missed it, Justin and his wife Hailey Baldwin adopted Sushi along with another cat, named tuna, back in September 2019 just ahead of their glamorous wedding ceremony in South Carolina.
