Laura Carroll says Charlie, a five-year-old rescue, was 'very lucky' to survive the ordeal.
A missing cat used one of his nine lives when he was found 40 miles from home in a car engine bay.
Charlie, a five-year-old rescue cat, disappeared from his home in Grangetown, Sunderland, on Sunday morning. He had managed to sneak behind the grille of a car, before hitching a ride to Warkworth in Northumberland.When the family noticed the house cat had gone missing, Ms Carroll's daughter began searching the area, calling out his name.
But after several hours passed they took to social media, posting a picture along with a plea for anyone with information to contact them."The kids were scared for him and my youngest just kept asking 'where's Charlie?'," Ms Carroll said.Unbeknown to the driver of the vehicle, Charlie had been travelling with them., based in Blyth and Morpeth, who issued an appeal for the owner to come forward.
Joanne Stewart, who helps to run JJ's Cat and Kitten Rescue, said she was "delighted to reunite Charlie with his family" and the case "just shows the power of social media".Ms Carroll has since praised those who helped rescue Charlie and has donated to the rescue centre. She will also get Charlie microchipped.
