Soldiers deployed far from home frequently befriend local animals. Usually we hear about dogs being rescued. It seems cats are also adopted and rescued.
The SPCA International has a program, Baghdad Pups. They work to reunite service members with the pets they rescued overseas. They sort out all the complications of bringing the animals home. In this case it was a couple of cats. Two soldiers just had happy reunions with their beloved cats.
The program will bring pets from anywhere and will continue to work as long as their are soldiers who need to bring their adopted pets home.

I did not realize there was an actual organization bringing animals home to the soldiers who cared for them. I also didn't realize that any cats were being rescued.
This is a beautiful thing. People who take in an animal and care for it should not have to leave it behind when they go home. They also should not face a lot of difficulties trying to bring the pet home. A group that has done this before would know how to make it happen. For two little cats and their persons, this is going to be a happy Christmas.
