A cat who had been missing for two years was found just streets away from her home in Droylsden.
Alfie had not been seen by her owner Judith Moss for two years after she went missing from her home on John Street. Judith said that her cat was a 'wanderer' but that she'd started to think she wasn't going to come back.
Two years later, the 13-year-old moggie was found on Herbert Street after the RSPCA were called. Alfie had been turning up at the John Street Social club for a couple of months and concerns had been raised that she wasn’t bearing weight on one of her front legs.

A microchip scan revealed she had been missing from home. Judith said she was 'shocked' to hear that Alfie had been found.
She said: "Alfie has always been a bit of a wanderer and she’s a very friendly cat with the loudest purr who’ll go up and say hello to anyone. She had a collar on and I’d got her microchipped, and if she went off she came back.
"But obviously this time, when there was no sign of her for so long, I was beginning to think she wouldn't return. It was a bit of a shock when I heard from Lee to say she’d been found, especially as I go past the social club on my way to work, it’s literally just round the corner.
"I’d love to know what she’s been up to for the past two years. My guess is that she’s made some friends and been getting fed somewhere, although I’d searched the area and never seen her.
"Maybe now she’s two years older she’ll have put her adventures behind her and stay put - I hope so!"
Alfie - who his owners thought first was male - has settled in well since she returned
