Cat Found His Way Home After He Was Missing 5 Years

One of the most devastating moments in every cat owner’s life is when their fur baby goes missing. Fortunately, there are times when they do find their way back home. This happened to Tom-Tom who ran away from home 5 years ago after his family moved houses.

“My sister got a call from animal control today. Her cat Tom-Tom has been found. He was missing for almost five years,” Cindy B. shared on her Twitter. “She rescued Tom-Tom from a shelter and had him chipped. (Pretty sure the shelter required it.) He lived with her for about seven years. They were in the process of moving within the same town when he disappeared. She searched for him.”

He was found in a canyon about 15 miles from his home. However, Tom-Tom was extremely happy when he saw his human mom.

“She thinks he recognized her,” she added. “He purred as soon as she picked him up. He’s adjusting to being back with his family – my nieces were very small when he disappeared and they have new pets. But so far, he seems pretty chill. He’s old and hopefully his last years can be more comfortable.”
