Mary-Ann Lloyd and her family were struck with grief when their playful ginger tomcat disappeared from their Birmingham home in 2017.
The family had not long moved when the cat disappeared, and the family lost all hope of ever seeing him again.
However, with the power of microchipping, Boots was returned home to his family more than seven years later, just in time for Christmas.
Mary-Ann had Boots and his sister Misty microchipped when they originally rescued them as kittens - meaning the RSPCA could find him and return him to his family.
To the family's surprise, trouble-prone Boots actually hadn't gone far in the seven years that he was missing - hanging around at the family's former neighbourhood where kind residents fed him.
Boots was reported to the RSPCA after one of his regular feeders moved away.
