Little Noah wants his special friend back.

A heartfelt appeal has gone out for the return of an autistic boy’s lost toy cat.

Three-and-a-half-year-old Noah is extremely attached to the Sing and Sign Jessie cat - it normally goes everywhere with him - but it has gone missing in Honiton.

He is very upset and would love to be reunited with it.

His mum, Sam, said: “If anybody has seen it or found it, could they let the Midweek Herald know so Noah can be reunited with his special friend?”

If you have seen the cat, call The Herald’s newsroom on 01392 888486 or leave it at Honiton Tourist Information Centre.
