Freda Watson, who owned the cat, was highly emotional in the lead up to their reunion.
"I couldn't sleep the night before. I was crying that night and I was crying in the morning," she said in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
"As I went to the kennel and pet him, he sniffed me and all of a sudden he was just rubbing up on me like he remembered me. I carried him in my arms and he put both his paws around my neck as if he was hugging me," she added.
Freda Watson was thankful to the family who had taken care of the feline all these years.
