Cat that Went Missing in Oregon turns up in New Mexico, 5 Years Later

A cat that went missing in Oregon five years ago has turned up safe and sound -- 1,367 miles away in New Mexico.

Sasha, a black longhair, disappeared left its Portland home one night and never returned, owner Viktor Usov says. "That was five years ago," Usov says. "I just thought a coyote got him, which was sad to think about." And he had a long time to think about it, too, as five long years went by before he received a call from the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, which located Usov by scanning the microchip implanted in Sasha. “When I got the call, I was ecstatic but I was not that surprised," Usov says. "This cat loves adventure."

On Tuesday, Usov and Sasha were finally reunited. Animal shelter officials say they have no idea how the cat managed to travel more than 1,300 miles, nor do they know what Sasha has been up to for the past five years. “I guess I wanna think he was on a great American adventure," Usov says.
