Does Simon’s Cat get home safe?  Watch the final episode of our Missing Cat special meow!. 

Jemma Lough, 43, had given up hope of seeing her beloved Toby again after failing to to return home one day in 2002

12 years later, Jemma received a shocking call and couldn’t believe when she heard that her missing cat is found.

More than a decade passed and she met her future husband Ant, 40, and set up home with him – 70 miles from the house she had shared with Toby and his mum Jackie.

So she was astonished when she received a call from a vet saying the cat, now 16, had been brought in –  after he was found living at a drug rehab centre.

Jemma said: “I wish he could tell me where he’s been. His feet, which were white, are a little bit grey so you can tell he’s been living outside. I couldn’t believe the phone call. I’ve never had anything like it.

“When I took the call initially, I was shaking. There were a lot of tears when I first went to see him, it was overwhelming.”

A volunteer at the centre – two miles from Jemma’s old home in Braintree, Essex – thought Toby was a stray and took him to a vet.

Fortunately Jemma had updated her address when she moved, so her contact details came up on the cat’s microchip.

Toby is now settling back in at home with Jemma and his mum Jackie, now 18, in Yaxley, Cambs.

Jemma said: “He walked over and licked his mum’s head when he saw her again.”

“If I hadn’t updated my details then they wouldn’t have been able to find me because I had moved. Everyone should make sure their details are updated, no matter how long it has been.”
