The furry friend was found more than nine miles from his home – at Logan International Airport in Boston, according to the Animal Rescue League.

Two workers had discovered Harry in a garage area at the airport, and thanks to his microchip, the owners were finally able to locate him.

"We have looked everywhere in the neighborhood for him, and we've put up lots of signs," Lafleur told CBS Boston about their search efforts.

"He is pretty obsessed with boxes so he may have seen a box in the back of a delivery truck and jumped in and then took a little ride to Logan," Harry's owner said.

Along with his humans, Harry's return has delighted his cat brother, Ron!
