Just wanted to keep everyone aprised of our situation here. As of last week, the total number of cats that have been reported missing or have reportedly disappeared from pet owners in the Antioch area has reach the alarming figure of 704, with only 53 that have been found.
Please bear in mind, that this figure represents only the number of cats that have officially been reported as missing. In other words, the owner has filed an official Lost or Missing Report with our Animal Services Dept.
Based on studies conducted by the NCPP, wherein only 50% of cat owners will actually physically go through the effort of filing an official Lost or Missing Report with law enforcement or animal control agencies, we estimate that the true number of cats that have disappeared is closer to 1300 - 1400 and this is over a period of only 14 months.
Just thought you still might be interested in knowing that our plight still goes unanswered.
