Tell your neighbors an experienced animal rescue expert said the following: First, report the guy to Animal Control, listed in the Sonoma County section of the blue pages. This is animal abuse, and he needs to be fined, to protect other small animals. Then, on a map, draw a line between the cat's home & where she was dumped; draw an oval with a one-mile radius from the line; and plaster the area in the oval with Reward posters. For best results, the posters need to say "$___ Reward" in big letters at the top; offer as big a reward as possible. Then, have a large, color picture of the cat--
or, if there isn't one picture that makes her clearly identifiable, two pictures, one of her face and the other of her whole body from the side.
Under that, give all the information, including phone number, when & where
she was dumped and where her home is. Say what you're willing to
do to accomodate someone who may have found her and become attached
to her over the past half year, e.g. send them pictures or videos of her,
let them visit, let her stay if you can visit. Put the flier into a clear plastic holder, and completely tape its edges to a larger sheet of brightly colored posterboard; also tape to the board a plastic pocket full of business-card sized slips with phone number, reward amount and basic information. Make as many of these posters as you can afford to, & post them at the highest-traffic locations; then fill in with just the fliers--if possible, one on every bulletin board and utility pole in the area. People don't start to recall this kind of message until the seventh time they see it. Ask to speak
for one minute with each of the vets nearest where she was dumped,
show each vet the cat's pictures and ask to be notified if a new patient comes in who appears to be the cat you're looking for. The best single resource for small-animal retrieval information is lostapet.net.
Also, there's one psychic i've heard of who has actually come up with information that enabled the human to find the cat: Barrie, who can be reached at
