Charlie the 12-year-old puss is a little the worse for wear - but he's delighted to be home



A cat who went missing from its Coventry home has been found just yards away from where he was last seen two and a half years ago.

Charlie, the 12-year-old cat went missing in 2015, but was spotted by a member of the public in Common Way in Stoke on January 29.

The RSPCA came to collect the cat and took him to a nearby vet who scanned him for a microchip - and successfully pulled up his owner’s details.

He was found with a nasty injury to his leg, which has resulted in it being amputated, but he is now back with his family who are thrilled to have him home.

Susan Moazzenkivi nine-year-old daughter, Maisie, and Jake, three, were also delighted to welcome back Charlie.

“When Charlie went missing we put his photo on Facebook lost and found groups and we were always looking out for him,” she said.

“We are just in shock that he’s now home. We can’t believe it.

“He seems happy to be back. I got down on my hands and knees and called his name and he came running over so he obviously remembers his name.

“My daughter wrote a letter to RSPCA officer McConkey to thank him for helping Charlie.

“I’d just like Charlie’s story to encourage other cat owners to make sure they get their cats microchipped.”

RSPCA cat welfare expert Alice Potter said: “It’s now a legal requirement to have your dog microchipped and to ensure your contact details are up-to-date. But it’s just as important to ensure you get your cat microchipped.

“The RSPCA urges all pet owners to consider getting their pet micro-chipped because it means you stand a much better chance of being reunited with your pet should they ever go missing or get stolen.

“Cats naturally roam and can be very independent so it’s really important to ensure they can be returned to you should they ever go astray.”
