In February, the family was accepted as refugees in Canada, but pets were not allowed.

...............

When the family arrived in Canada, El Shatir was reminded of Sherry anytime she saw another person with a pet. It gave her hope that one day she would be reunited with her beloved cat.

A month and a half after leaving Sherry in Jordan, he was brought to Regina after much paper work and medical screening.

"I thank Canada, its people, its government for giving the Syrian people a chance to restart our lives again. To have a chance to live in a normal way and a safe way. Also for giving my cat another chance to live."
