Cat Rescued From Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Ceiling

Achilles Got Into Ceiling While Owners Relaxed In Pilot's Lounge

BROOMFIELD, Colo. -- A cat lost in the ceiling at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield was found safe and sound on Wednesday morning in a trap set up to catch him.
Achilles, a 2-year-old exotic Bengal cat, flies with its owners, who are both pilots.
The couple flew into RMMA and were relaxing in the pilot's lounge with the cat on Monday when it suddenly disappeared into a hole in the ceiling.

Workers could hear the cat crying occasionally, but couldn't find it in the divided ceiling.

The pilots, Mary and Stan Palmer of Maryland, were flying with a client and had to leave, so Mary Palmer's family came from Grand Junction to try to coax the cat out.

Food, toys and other items didn't work, but the cat was found in a trap set up to catch him.

Mary Palmer told 7NEWS she and her husband are flying back to Boulder at the end of the month, but they hope to get Achilles before then. She's hoping another pilot will fly their cat back to the Baltimore or Philadelphia area so they can pick Achilles up.

"We want to thank them (Denver Air Center) for all their efforts and help in this unusual situation," said Palmer.
