When workers at an Amazon warehouse in Long Island first noticed a fluffy stray cat hiding under one of their delivery trucks, they thought he was just another neighborhood wanderer. They fed him, kept an eye out for him, and eventually called local animal rescuer John Debacker for help. But when Debacker scanned the cat’s microchip, what he discovered left him speechless.
A Shocking Revelation
After safely luring the frightened cat out from under the truck, Debacker ran a routine scan. He expected to find a nearby address — but instead, the microchip revealed something astonishing: the cat was registered in Bermuda, over 700 miles away.
“I was shocked,” Debacker said.
Working with the Bermuda SPCA, Debacker learned the cat’s name: Frankie. But Frankie’s story turned out to be far more extraordinary than anyone imagined.
Frankie’s World Travels
Little by little, rescuers pieced together Frankie’s life history. He wasn’t just a stray from Bermuda — he was a well-traveled feline with a passport longer than most people’s:
- Born in the United Kingdom, where he spent his early years.
- Later moved to Bermuda, where he became a family pet.
- Rehomed in Turks and Caicos, but couldn’t stay permanently.
- Relocated to South Carolina, only to be surrendered to a shelter.
- Finally, in 2017, brought to New York by a rescue group.
With such a storied past, Frankie earned the affectionate nickname “Mr. Worldwide.”

Settling Into Safety
At around 15 years old, Frankie is now considered a senior cat. Despite everything, he’s affectionate and loving — “a purr machine,” as Debacker described him.
Currently, Frankie is safe at Last Chance Animal Rescue, where staff are determined to give him what he’s been missing all his life: stability, comfort, and a forever home. After years of bouncing between countries, Frankie finally has the chance to enjoy peace in his golden years.
Why Microchips Matter
Frankie’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of microchips. Without one, his past would have remained a mystery, and he may have been mistaken for just another homeless stray. Microchips act like an insurance policy for pets, offering a lifeline when animals are lost or displaced.
For Frankie, that tiny chip unlocked his incredible journey and gave rescuers the information they needed to ensure he’s safe.
Closing Thoughts
From the U.K. to Bermuda, from Turks and Caicos to South Carolina, and finally to New York, Frankie’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. His travels may have earned him the nickname “Mr. Worldwide,” but what he truly deserves now is a quiet home, a warm lap, and the stability he’s never had.

Thanks to the compassion of rescuers like Debacker and the dedication of shelters, Frankie is finally on the path to a happy ending.
