Luna, a nine-year-old cat missing from Glasgow, was found near Hull after apparently travelling there in a van. Students cared for her and helped identify her through a missing-pet listing and a microchip check; she returned home on October 31.

Luna went missing from Emily Caldwell’s home in Glasgow’s Shawlands area on October 9; she was found at a college near Winestead, Yorkshire, about 280 miles away.
It is thought Luna may have hidden in a staff member’s van while it travelled from Glasgow to the Hull area, though how she got into the vehicle is unknown.
Students at the College for International Co-operation and Development fed Luna and gave her a bed. They found Caldwell’s PawBoost listing and a second microchip scan confirmed Luna’s identity and owner.
Caldwell’s father collected Luna and drove her back to Glasgow, where she arrived on October 31. She returned thinner and missing a tooth, and slept for several days.
