Sid, a grey and white male cat, is crossing a gap of over 1,000 miles and reuniting with his person after being caught in a trap meant for another feral cat in the area. After Teller County Regional Animal (TCRAS) realized they had captured Sid instead, they scanned his microchip and contacted his owner. His owner, who after years of searching for Sid, had kept his contact information current. He relocated from Colorado to Texas for school, a distance of over 1,000 miles. However, upon getting the call, Sid’s incredulous owner made the trek to reunite with his long-lost friend, overjoyed to see him safe and much bigger than he remembered!
