Essex Woman Finds Long-Lost Cat After Recognizing His Meow on a Phone Call


Pets get lost to the dismay of their owners – this is a reality that happens all the time. Some find their way back home, others are lost forever. For a woman from Essex, it was the second. She lost her black cat last year, and even after a long search, it was nowhere to be found. However, the Universe had other plans, reuniting the woman and pet after a long eight months.

The cat went missing from his home in Essex last year. His mom, Rachael Lawrence and her three kids were devastated. They searched for him high and low, even contacting vets to ask if they had received a black cat. However, it was still missing, and Rachael all but gave up. She got a new cat for her babies which eventually needed a routine medical procedure at 11 months old.

When she called the vet to check on Torvi, she heard a familiar meow in the background. She asked if that was Torvi, but the vet answered it’s a stray that was brought in a week ago. Rachael rushed to the vet center right away, sure that it was her long-lost cat. To her surprise, it was.

Barnaby recognized her right away and came for some pets. It was an emotional reunion. After confirming she owned him, she took Barnaby home that day. The kids were delighted and so was the cat. Torvi’s surgery went well and he came back home to find a friend. It’s your feel good story of the day, and one we’re happy turned out this way.
