Cat Found 1,200 Miles From Home Reunited With Owner After It Went Missing For Five Years
Santa Fe Animal Shelter

A black cat missing for five years has been returned to his owner after turning up more than 1,000 miles from home.


Sasha was found wandering the streets in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and taken in by the local animal shelter.

When staff from the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society scanned the animal's microchip, they discovered he had somehow travelled around 1,200 miles from Portland, Oregon, where his owner Viktor Usov lives.


We are LIVE in Portland reuniting Sasha and his guardian, Viktor, who lost his cat 5 years ago. If it wasn't for the cat's microchip, we would have never been able to reunite them.A special thanks to American Airlines who helped with this reunion. To learn more about microchips, please contact your veterinarian. SFHumaneSociety.org

Mr Usov, a 31-year-old medical student, joked to KGW:

“He went on a grand American adventure."
“He stopped by the Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, he saw the monuments, all the national parks, definitely Redwood Forest."

American Airlines flew the cat back to Portland with a member of staff from the shelter so he could be reunited with his owner.

Sasha had been with Mr Usov for around a year when he went for a walk one day and never returned.

Before that, Mr Usov said he was the “friendliest" of cats, and good friends with Tara – the dog he adopted around the same time.

“They grew up together."
“They would eat from the same bowl, sleep in the same bed, and whenever we took Tara for a walk Sasha would come along of his own volition."

He said he was excited to reunite the pair and see how they got along after the lengthy separation.

Exactly how Sasha ended up in New Mexico remains unclear.

Murad Kirdar, a spokesman for the shelter, told the Sante Fe Reporter cats are:

 “notorious for jumping U-Hauls, trains and cars." 

Kirdar theorized Sasha had:

“hitched a ride and ended up here".

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
