Jester has gone missing from his Tooting home
The distraught owners of a cancer suffering, one-eyed cat who has been missing for a week have appealed for help finding their "much-loved best friend".
Jester, who is 15-years-old and missing all his teeth, has been battling cancer for the past year and needs to take medication regularly.
The cat went missing on Thursday, February 2, and his owners Lucie Clement and Damian Briggs, from Totterdown Road, has put posters around Tooting in her search for him.
She said: "My life is incomplete without him. Any information would mean the world to us. I would describe Jester as being like an old gentlemen.
"He is black and white with a shorter than average tale, that had to come off when he was a kitten.
"The last time I saw him he was walking around the garden which is his normal routine in the morning as he enjoys watching the birds."
Miss Clement's posters have already had some responses. One man claimed to have seen the cat between Tesco and Morley's in Tooting.
However, there has been no news since and her devastated owner is worried Jester is stranded somewhere in the cold, without food.
She said: "He is a free spirit and a much-loved best friend. It would mean the world if he came back. If I won the lottery I would give it away in a second to have him back. I just want to know he is safe and being fed somewhere, people can be cruel."
"As long as he is getting his treatment he is fine. He was getting injections and chemotherapy but the vet said he was making great progress".
Miss Clement was originally told Jester might only last another few weeks he has been going strong for nearly a year now and is said to be very full of life when he went missing.
