Lauren Mundy describes getting the call that Joey was alive and well as 'surreal'.
Lauren Mundy's pet, called Joey, did not return after leaving their house in Springbourne, Bournemouth, in October 2019.
But two weeks ago she received a call from Cats Protection saying he was still alive - and had been looked after by an elderly man living just three miles away in the neighbouring suburb of Kinson.Joey disappeared on a "horrible stormy night" , Ms Mundy said.Her son, Riley, was just three at the time and was distraught.Despite the years passing, Ms Mundy said she "didn't stop worrying about or thinking about him"."She said a family had found him...
The cat lived with him for several years, becoming the man's companion throughout lockdown and after the death of his wife. When the man was taken into hospital to receive end of life care, his granddaughter decided to have Joey scanned."I always said 'I hope Joey's just found an old man or an old dear and he's keeping him company, just living his best life'.""We brought him in and he just sat where he always sat on the computer chair," said Ms Mundy.Follow BBC South on
