He was missing for 10 days before being found yesterday (17 Aug).
Esther, 55 and 51-year-old partner Shaun, of Edwinstowe, near Mansfield Notts, had checked Tobias in on 7 August to the cattery near Sheffield.
They headed to Cornwall on holiday and were 250 miles away when they got the call.
She contacted Lisa Dean at Beauty’s Legacy animal welfare charity – which finds lost pets.
After speaking to locals they got a possible sighting in some woods.

They set up a camera near some food and once they knew it was Tobias they put in a trap to catch him.
It was 15 miles away from where he’d vanished.
“We were devastated to hear Tobias had escaped from the cattery,” said Esther told What’s The Jam.

“And being so far away it was torture, we felt helpless.
“It was the longest 10 days ever.
“When Lisa’s team got onboard and we started getting him on camera it gave us hope and when he was finally trapped it was absolutely amazing.
“We want to thank all the volunteers and members of the public that have helped in every way and we are thrilled to have him home.”
He has now been reunited with Esther and Shaun.
Lisa said: “His poor owners were hundreds of miles away and distraught.
“Needless to say Tobias’s owners are thrilled to have him back at their home.”
