(NOVEMBER 22, 2019) Sasha is a black cat. He lived in Vancouver. He lived with Viktor Usov.

In 2014, Sasha went outside. He went for a walk. He never came back.

Viktor was upset. But Sasha had a microchip. A microchip is identification. So Viktor called veterinarians and animal shelters. "Did you find a lost cat?"

No one found Sasha. Until ...

In 2019, Viktor got a call. Someone found a cat with a microchip. It was Sasha. And he was in New Mexico! That is 1200 miles away!

Viktor was happy. Now Sasha can come home.
