Owner appeals for help to find missing cat

In posts across Facebook groups, including ‘Singapore Missing Cats’ and ‘Lost and found pets in Singapore’, Mr Adrian Wong said his cat, Aiko, has gone missing.

Cat doesn’t have an AirTag

Unfortunately, what makes matters more difficult is that Aiko doesn’t have an AirTag.

This is unlike the case of Oreo, a dog who similarly went missing in April 2022 and was found thanks to her AirTag.

When asked why Aiko didn’t have an AirTag, Mr Wong said they were not allowed to put one on her.

Specifically, an AirTag wasn’t allowed by the airline Cathay Pacific, he alleged.

Mr Wong said he wondered why that decision was made, especially when he saw the news regarding Oreo’s safe return.

Those with news on Aiko’s whereabouts should send a WhatsApp to +85260833973 or +65 9751 7826.

Hopefully, the beloved cat will be found soon and reunited with her owner.
