Aiko Goes Missing
On October 28, Adrian Wong took to the Lost and Found Pets in Singapore Facebook group, desperately seeking help to find his beloved ginger cat, Aiko. “I beg for your help to keep an eye on her,” he pleaded. Unfortunately, when Wong arrived in Hong Kong, Aiko was nowhere to be found.
Five Days of Searching
After a tense five-day search, Aiko was finally discovered in the cargo area of Changi Airport on November 1. Wong expressed immense relief, stating, “Safe and sound, definitely lost a few pounds and have oil and grease all over, but healthy!” His gratitude extended to the community, as he thanked everyone who helped in the search, saying, “We are beyond grateful. Thank you so very much, this is a very strong community!”
Cathay Cargo’s Response
In response to inquiries from The Straits Times, Ashish Kapur, Cathay Pacific’s regional head of cargo for Southeast Asia, explained that they were informed of Aiko’s escape on October 28. The cat had slipped through a hole in her carrier during the transfer process. A search was promptly launched, and professional animal handlers were enlisted to assist.
Plans for Reunion
Once Aiko was found, she underwent a thorough check-up by a veterinarian to ensure her health. Plans are now in place to reunite Aiko with Adrian in Hong Kong as soon as possible. Kapur has also expressed sincere apologies to Wong for the distress caused and assured him that they would review the incident with their partners to prevent such occurrences in the future.
Community Spirit Shines Bright
