A New York family has been reunited with their cat 10 years after the pet slipped out of their home and disappeared.

The Montclair Township Animal Shelter in New Jersey said in a Facebook post that a Good Samaritan recently brought in a stray cat.

“And of course, the first thing we do is scan for a microchip,” the shelter said.

The scan immediately identified the animal as belonging to Sean Haberle, an upstate New York resident who was living in Montclair at the time that Asa went missing.

“BINGO. MICROCHIP AND REGISTERED! The family still had the same phone number,” according to the shelter.

The cat, named Asa, had been adopted by Haberle as a kitten a decade earlier, according to WABC-TV.

Asa vanished after getting through an open window screen and climbing into a rain gutter
