Missing cat reunited with its owner after disappearing nearly ELEVEN years ago – The Sun

A CAT has been reunited with its owner after going missing for nearly 11 years.

Missy escaped from Eve McDonnell’s car on April 23, 2009.

Despite a search, Missy could not be found and Eve, 72, gave up hope of seeing her pet again.

So she was stunned when a cat rescue centre got in touch to say the black and white moggy had been found living on the streets eight miles away from her home.

Residents in Hall Green, Birmingham, had spotted the stray living among rubbish and sleeping on top of a bin.

Eve, a retired hairdresser, said: “I never stopped thinking about her.

“You just don’t forget your pets — they are irreplaceable. I can’t believe she’s alive.”

Missy escaped when Eve drove to the shops without realising her pet was asleep on the back seat after sneaking into the car.

She was recently spotted by Ali Shah and his mum Salma, who fed and sheltered her for several days. The pair then took her to Little Haven Rescue in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

Rescue centre owner Clare Davis, 46, took the emaciated cat, now aged 17, to an emergency vet where a microchip was discovered and traced to Eve.

Clare said: “I’ve returned cats that have been missing for two or three years but 11 years is pretty unbelievable."
