The Incredible Story Of How a Cat Lost in Cargo Was Reunited With Owner 19 Months Later Veterinarians were able to locate the family though his microchip.

 -- It was a purr-fect reunion.

Hillary Sutherland was reunited with her Siamese cat 19 months after he went missing during her family’s move from Hawaii to Detroit.

Bogie, a 5-year-old Siamese, went missing from the cargo hold at Honolulu International Airport in December 2013 and Sutherland and her family thought he was gone for good, ABC affiliate KITV reported.

“Weeks went by. Months went by and, you know, pretty much we’d given up hope,” Hillary Sutherland told KITV.

Bogie wandered around the airport before Bill Antilla — who takes care of feral cats around the airport — spotted him.

“It took a few months before he started to get really friendly with me that I could actually touch him,” Antilla told KITV.

Luckily, Bogie had a microchip that helped veterinarians track down the Sutherland family in Michigan after Antilla caught him on Wednesday.

Two days later, Bogie was flown from Hawaii to his new home in Detroit 4,500 miles away.

Sutherland said she knows none of this would be possible without Bogie’s microchip.

“I honestly didn’t think we would ever, ever, ever see him again so now that we do get to see him and he gets to be reunited with the family, it’s amazing,” she told ABC affiliate WXYZ.
