    2 years ago, we let my 7 year old cat, which I had since I was 9 years old, outside as we usually did, and sadly he did not return.

    The first couple months I was scared to leave our apartment alone or to sleep as I was afraid he'd return with no one to let him inside. It wasn't until around the one year mark I'd finally lost hope and accepted he was gone.

    That changed until around last Tuesday, before the holidays, that my mom had received a text from a veterinary clinic 30 minutes away had found our cat and scanned his chip, alerting us right away.

    We simply could not believe that our boy had been found after 2 years, but the second I saw his missing front tooth, I knew it was him. Our family was given a Christmas miracle, and now we're still cherishing these moments with him as he gets readjusted to his home again

    Some-Body-Else He looks well taken care of for a cat that's been on the streets for two years! Any chance he adopted another family?

    OP GlizzyGuzzlingMaster Even before he ran away, he's had several other part-time families. Our apartment complex loves him, especially the younger kids. He once had a part-time family with a couple that lived a building over, they bought him wet food and named him Potato Salad. Another woman would take morning walks with him, lol

    Prestigious-Way 1118 Omg I am so delighted for both of you, it's a weird but magical feeling. Our boy was gone 19 months before we got the exact same call. We had gotten another cat after the 14 month mark and now they are snuggle buddies

    OP GlizzyGuzzlingMaster We adopted a rescued pitbull while he was gone, lol. He has a younger Tuxedo Cat sister that he knew for awhile, they were fighting but they're learning to cuddle again, also warming up to the dog now, lol

    edingirl Aww, that's a lovely thing to hear on Christmas Day Did the vet know anything about where he'd been?

    OP GlizzyGuzzlingMaster No one knows nothing so far. A police officer had found him in a part of town 30 minutes away, as far as we can guess, someone took him in for 2 years or he's been bouncing around homes

    Creepy_Trouble_5980 Tabby's are so lovable. He must have been with someone. Good reason to keep up to date the chip information even when it looks grim. Merry Christmas.

    Hairy Pumpkin3901 getting that text must have felt unreal

    Substantial-You3570 He seems rather unbothered by being missing for two years. May I suggest looking into a little cat enclosure or tent so he can enjoy outdoors without getting lost again?

    Nefandous_Jewel Devouring every word of this post AND the comment section like it was food. Im so happy for you! Im so happy for HIM! My cat was stolen 6 years ago and I keep his chip number posted online in case he ever gets taken to a vet... Posts like these renew my hope!!

    Sissycain 100% i suspect someone stole him, given the almost exact 2 years + how clean and well fed he is i would bet their lease was up and they either let him go or he got out and ran away
