A cat missing for five years was reported that it was found 1,200 miles away from home and reunited with its owner. Viktor Usov, who was from Portland, Oregon, once assumed the worst after his cat Sasha went missing forever. But recently he received a call from an animal shelter in Santa Fe, New Mexico, who told him his six-year-old, long-haired black cat had been found several days ago. According to CNN, he said he thought at the time, “That must be a malfunctioning system.”
Although the cat was discovered wandering the streets without a collar, the shelter was able to find out its owner by scanning for a microchip, public relations officer Murad Kirdar of animal shelter in Santa Fe, New Mexico told CNN.
Sasha was flown back to Portland this week and reunited with its owner, Viktor Usov. Mr Usov said, “No way. It was really impossible. That couldn’t be my cat. I couldn’t believe it. We thought the worst, but when we received the call, we were so thankful Sasha was alive and well.”
Just how and why the cat ended up in Santa Fe remains a mystery, but Mr Usov said he believes his cat “hitched a ride”. He added, “I guess I want to think he was on a great American adventure.” Mr Kirdar said the story showed the importance of microchipping pets as it was the only form of permanent identification. Mr Usov said he would look after the cat well after it returned because what happened to his long lost cat must be just a miracle.
