Cat missing since 2005 is back home

A cat was back with his owner after going missing for three-and-a-half years, the RSPCA said.

Kofi vanished from his home in Nottingham during the autumn of 2005, said an RSPCA spokeswoman.

An RSPCA inspector was called after a cat was found injured in a street Ipswich, Suffolk on April, Suffolk, on April 6.

A scan on a micro-chip fitted to the cat revealed Kofi's identity and checks showed that he had nothing worse than an infected flea bite.

Kofi had been reunited with owner Sarah Hawley, who now lives in Sheffield, and was doing well, the spokeswoman added.

"We couldn't believe it when the chip showed that the cat had travelled so far from home," said the RSPCA spokeswoman.

"We see so many unwanted animals that to get this cat back home after so long, just because of his microchip, is fantastic."

Mrs Hawley added: "I was amazed ... We had given up hope of seeing him again."
