BACK home safe and sound in his owners' arms - Buddy the meandering moggie who went walkabout for a whole 12 months.
Kelly Parker and Shaun Meloy had given up all hope of ever seeing their black and white pet again after he disappeared last August.
However thanks to a microchip, the efforts of a cat lover and a local vets, Buddy is now safely back home.
Kelly said: "Wherever he has been he's been well looked after - he has no injuries or marks at all - but he has almost doubled his weight so he's been eating well."
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated August 14. **
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
