stolen cats

Our neighbors took are cats to the Animal shelter, the animal shelter was to full to take them so they had to turn them down. The lady from the animal shelter identified the neighbor as the man who brought them to the shelter, and she told him to return them, he said he would, when he didn't we went to the police department to file a complaint, a police officer ask him to return them, he said that he was trying to get hold of his cousin because he is who had them. that was 8/01/03 and we still havent seen our cats.

The lady from the shelter filed a complaint with the police department for animal cruelty, but the prosecutor said sorry about our luck,no one seen hem physcially remove them so there isnt anything we can do. The Humane society officer identified him, because she actually seen him with the cat, and he admitted to a police officer that he took them to his cousins.

One cat is very sick, he has an inner ear infection and is on medicine, the other cat has a broken hip, Is there anything we can do to make himtell us where our cats are?

Thank you Anna Smith

Stealing a cat is a crime, When you get the cat back, have them arrested and press charges. Say what you can to get them back, then have them arressted, you should not have to agree to blackmail.

No, this is not true. In almost every town I have ever lived in, it is legal to trap and take to the humane society. Unfortunately, not all people take them there. What is common, however, is for them to be taken to a humane society far away so the cats aren't found.
