AN autistic Slough man has pleaded for the return of his missing kitten.

Ocean-Faith Skyrider, 27, of Whittaker Road, Slough, has appealed for the return of his six month old cat Ziggy who has been missing for six weeks now.

Mr Skyrider, who also suffers with Aspergers syndrome, says the young tabby helps to keep his autism on a good and stable level.

He said: "I'm feeling lost and anxious without Ziggy.

"She was always by my side, if I moved she would follow me."

Mr Skyrider only moved to Slough with his mother three months ago, and for a large chunk of that time his kitten has been missing.

He last saw the kitten in front of his house with its mother just before he set off to drive to Oxfordshire on October 3.

When Ocean arrived home four days later his mother told him that Ziggy had not come home since he had left.

Mr Skyrider found the cat's collar on the floor at the front of the house.

After six difficult weeks Ziggy's owner is desperate for her return.

He said: "She made me feel safe and I guess you could say with her I never felt alone.

"She makes my autism stay calm and I'm getting more and more upset and anxious as the days go by."

If you have seen Ziggy or know anything of her whereabouts please contact Ocean on 07397 561627.
