All he wanted to do was go home - and all his family wanted to do was get rid of him.
Putting one paw in front of the other, Toby the cat managed to walk 12 miles back to where his old owners lived after being given away to another household last month.
When he got there, the North Carolina kitty was "met with heartbreak."
"The family he thought had loved him took him to a shelter and asked staff to euthanize him," explained the SPCA of Wake County on Facebook.
"The shelter called us at the SPCA to ask if we could take him in and find him a new family," they wrote.
"Of course, we said YES!"
The SPCA announced this week that Toby was adopted by a "cat-savvy mom" who can now show him "what a loving family is really like."
