Amber Blalock, whose family had to evacuate during the Oak Fire without one of their cats, Coda, said animal control found her children's beloved pet.Thousands of residents of remote mountain communities are still under evacuation orders Monday as firefighters significantly slowed the spread of the Oak Fire burning near Yosemite National Park.
One of them was Amber Blalock, who lives in the Lushmeadowns community in Mariposa County. She says her family had to evacuate without one of their cats. "We got the call that we had to evacuate and the fire was coming quickly. I have two children and my daughter, Sarah, she's 11. My son is eight, and we had to quickly get as much as we can. And we have a cat that likes to go outside. And so we were able to get one dog and one cat, and we had to just open the gate to let our chickens save themselves. But we couldn't find Coda."
