Animal Search UK’s professional missing pet search team were called Epsom this week by Mr and Mrs Brockman whose 12 year old pet cat, Tiger went missing one week ago.

The team of pet detectives, led by former police officer Tom Watkins, who has over 18 years of investigation experience, are fully equipped with walkie-talkies, rescue traps, torches and police style patrol vehicles to assist with their hunt for the much loved pet.

The company launched twelve years ago, and now has as many as 2000 visitors a day to its free website, scanning the lost and found databases in the hope of being reunited with their missing pets. As Watkins explains, “Most missing pets are found within a few miles of home – the challenge faced by owners, is making sure that as many people as possible know that their pet has gone missing, and encouraging them to be vigilant in keeping an eye out for them.”

“Unfortunately, work and family commitments often mean that owners don’t have as much time as they’d like to devote scouring the area looking for their missing pet, and this is one of the ways in which Animal Search UK can help. Our professional, uniformed specialist missing pet search teams can usually be at any location in the UK within 48 hours, to help owners find a missing pet.”

Tiger’s disappearance is out of character and it is thought a king member of the public could have taken him in without realising that he already has a family who are waiting anxiously for news. We would encourage anyone who knows where he is or what has happened to him. He has four white paws and a white chest/belly .’ Animal Search UK’s promise is that they will do all they can to leave no stone unturned in the search for Tiger. As Watkins goes on to say, “We’ve made sure that we have as much background as possible before we commenced our search. We’ve checked details about Tiger’s normal routine, and his usual patterns of movement in the area.” “Armed with this background information, we’re ready for the search effort to continue. Our service combines systematic local enquiries (including door to door), with a thorough publicity campaign. Everybody we have spoken to has been informed of the relevant details, and left with information and photos of Tiger. Anyone with news, information or who has a sighting of Tiger should ring the Animal Search UK free confidential helpline on 0800 4 320 340 and quote case ref: 148800 or search on the website www.animalsearchuk.co.uk for pet ref: ALP148800.
