Distraught owner Melissa Moremon, who works for the RSPCA animal charity at its headquarters in Southwater - where Quinn is a mascot - said: “I hate to think of him in the dark all alone wondering where I am and I am hoping someone might have some ideas what we can do to find him and bring him home.”

A crowdfunding appeal has been set up to try to raise £2,500 to pay for specialist tracking equipment and by this afternoon nearly £1,900 had been raised.

Meanwhile, people have taken to social media with messages of support for Melissa. One woman said: “Hoping and praying for some sighting.” And another posted: “Keeping my fingers crossed.”

There have also been suggestions that metal detectorists could join in the hunt for the lost pet.
