Kate Makin was living on a boat on the Thames, between Henley and Shiplake, when her cat Oscar went missing in the summer of 2017.

She searched for months before giving up hope.

But last week she received a phone call from a vet who told her that Oscar, who was chipped, had been found near Sonning.

"It was really surreal. I didn't know how to process it," Ms Makin said.

The vet told her that Oscar was found as a stray by an elderly woman who then brought him into the practice.
