Overview
- Bindi vanished from her Haddenham, Cambridgeshire home in August 2020 during the Covid lockdown, with no confirmed sightings for five years.
- On December 18, a woman in Haddenham brought the black cat to a veterinary practice in Witchford, where staff scanned a microchip and contacted the owner.
- The 10-year-old was found in good condition with only minor scratches and immediately appeared to recognize her family.
- Owner Jilly Fretwell said she had searched for months and posted social media appeals, and she is now urging pet owners to microchip their cats.
- Where Bindi spent the intervening years remains unknown, though the owner believes someone may have cared for her based on her healthy condition.
