A MIDLAND moggy which went missing more than a year ago has been reunited with his owner after he was spotted on Facebook.

Karen Walker thought she would never see her beloved three-and-a-half-year-old Fluffy again after he went out one day and never came home.

She was stunned when she spotted a picture of the missing cat on the Facebook wall of her friend Hayley Morgan, a volunteer fosterer for the Stourbridge branch of Cats Protection.

Karen said: “I always look at the photos Hayley puts on as I know she does work for Cats Protection and we love cats; and that day I just happened to bring a photo up and thought ‘that’s my cat’!

“So I Facebooked Hayley and went up to see her with a picture of Fluffy.”

Karen discovered Hayley had been looking after Fluffy, a longhaired black-and-white cat, for the last few weeks after a family in Old Swinford, who had been feeding him, handed him into the charity.

Hayley said: “It was a twist of fate that I got to foster Fluffy. It’s strange as Karen lives just down the road. And while I was fostering him I’d called him Bandit and apparently Karen used to have a cat called Bandit which lived with Fluffy.”

Karen added: “We’re very happy to have him back. He’s a lot less timid than he was and he’s having a lot of fuss.”
