It’s not clear what Shoto was up to in these intervening years, or how he ended up all the way in Massachusetts from his home in Texas. “That adventure will forever remain his secret,” the shelter wrote.

The Dakin Humane Society wrote that they were “honored” to facilitate this sweet reunion, and said it was “thanks to the amazing power of a microchip.”

People on social media were moved by the heartwarming reunion. “I’m so glad for Shoto! What a reunion, indeed. I’d have cried buckets!” one commenter wrote on Facebook.

“Wow what a great happy ending,” another wrote.

Others wondered what Shoto was up to these past two years or how he made such a long journey to Massachusetts. “If only cats could talk!!!” one person wrote.

“I would love to know his story, but it’s his secret,” another added.

We’re so glad Shoto is home after all this time! We’ll never know what he got up to these past two years, but the important thing is he’s finally home!

It’s a reminder to always get your pets microchipped, which makes reunions like this possible, no matter how long it’s been or how far apart you are!
