Reward money to go to an animal shelter
Loi shared her experience on Instagram and thanked all those who helped her.
One of her friends stayed up till 4am helping her look for Katsu, while another helped her look for Katsu despite having a flight that day.
"I honestly did not expect the overwhelming response over the past two days. I am just so grateful to have Katsu back with me and I am so thankful to every single one of you who helped along the process. I think I had close to 50 people at different areas searching for him at the same time... I think everybody plays a part in raising the awareness for the search for Katsu, and I'm so, so thankful for every single one of you," Loi said.
In the caption of one of her videos talking about Katsu, Loi shared that someone did reach out about the S$5,000 reward.
She explained that while the woman contributed significantly to the search for Katsu, Loi said the money would be donated to an animal shelter.
