A cat took on an adventurous 19km journey to return to his family, only to be abandoned for a second time.
A 7-year-old cat who'd been abandoned by his owners in North Carolina, US, made his way back home by walking 19km, only to find out his owners really did not want him back.
Toby completed the long trek and was immediately sent to a shelter to be euthanised.
"The family he thought had loved him took him to a shelter and asked staff to euthanise him," the Society for the Prevention of Animal Cruelty in Wake County said.
