Danielle Arme was heartbroken when her beloved kitten Bodhi suddenly disappeared in July 2021.

In a double blow, Bodhi's brother Braxon also vanished, leaving the stepmum-of-three devastated.

She put up posters in Chellaston, Derby, and asked locals but no one had seen either of the grey tabbies.

Braxon was found weeks later but Bodhi was still missing.

Her owner was forced to give up hope of ever seeing him again and eventually moved home.

But Danielle, 37, was stunned when someone called her last week saying her long lost pet had been found 15 miles away from where he was last seen. She said: "I burst into tears, I was so shocked.

"There's not many cats that go missing for that long and come back to you - it was just so surreal.
