The tabby, called Pepper, is thought to have stowed away in a truck travelling from Tilburg to Aschbach-Markt, west of Vienna.
Pepper was found sick and hungry by a hunter who caught and took her to a local vet. Fortunately she was micro-chipped.
Veterinarian Katharina Zöchling was able to trace Dutch owner Franka Schapendonk.
Speaking to local a broadcaster, Schapendonk said: “I got a call from a foreign number, so I didn’t answer. The voicemail picked up and it turned out to be a veterinarian from Austria. They found pepper. I was so happy.”
The delighted cat owner is said to be preparing to travel to Austria to claim her pet.
