CENTERVILLE, Mass. — A long-lost cat has finally come home on Cape Cod.

Tigger escaped through an open door seven years ago and his owner, Rebecca Collins West, thought she would never see him again.

But thanks to a microchip, the MSPCA on Cape Cod was able to return him home when he was dropped on July 31 by an animal control officer.

According to MSPCA Cape Cod’s Facebook post, Tigger was brought in and scanned for a microchip. When they discovered his owner, they were able to ring Collins West immediatley.

She picked up Tigger within hours of the phone call.
