«Breaking News» Missing cat Tilly is finally reunited with her worried owner 10 YEARS after escaping from her box

A lost cat has finally been reunited with her owner - 10 years after disappearing following a routine trip to the vet.

Feline Tilly, then aged four, was having injections but managed to escape from her basket and vanished.

Her owner, who does not wish to be named, said she had given up any forlorn hopes that the missing moggie would be seen again.

But she was left gobsmacked after getting a knock at the door from volunteers at Allerton Cat Rescue.

Amazingly the beloved cat had been found in good physical condition and just five minutes walking distance from her owner's address in Shipley near Bradford, West Yorkshire.

The long lost pair were brought back together again on Tuesday last week in an emotional reunion.

Allerton Cat Rescue founder Brenda Satterley decided to investigate after being handed the microchipped pet by a member of the public.

She said: "We tried ringing the former owner but got no response, so my friend and volunteer, Jean Kevan, decided to try out the address on Saturday afternoon.

"We weren't expecting much, as we assumed the woman had moved. She answered the door to my friend though and confirmed that she had lost a cat 10 years ago.

"She came in on Tuesday for it after we'd taken care of it over the weekend.." 

Ms Satterley said the woman had originally got the cat from Allerton Cat Rescue. 

Ms Satterley admitted she was astonished by both the condition of the cat and her whereabouts.

She said: "We don't know where she had been before, but the person who had been looking after her recently and brought her in found the cat just five minutes' walking distance from its owner's address.

"She's in really good physical condition given that she went missing all those years ago.

"She is very scared and nervous at the moment, which I hope isn't a problem, because the owner now has young children."

Tilly was actually originally adopted from Allerton Cat Rescue but escaped from her cat box on a visit to Avenue Vets in Saltaire. Despite looking for her she was never found.

It's not known what happened to Tilly during the next seven years, but she must have stayed local as a family not far from the vets started looking after her in their greenhouse three years ago.

Eventually, they decided to allow her into their home but one of the children was allergic so Tilly was brought to the cat rescue.

Cats are always checked for chips on admission and as one was found the centre contacted Petlog for the owner's details.

Volunteer Jean Kevan decided to visit the original address just in case her owners still lived at it - which amazingly they did.

Ms Satterley is thrilled the story had a happy ending and she added: "We don't actually microchip cats here, but we tell the new owners to give it a week for the cat to settle before they get it done.

"It only costs about £15 to get cats microchipped and this case shows its worth. If this cat hadn't been chipped, we never would have got it back to her owner."

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
