Imagine, one night your family cat goes outside and is spooked and runs off. You search day and night for him, posting fliers, offering rewards, contacting every lost and found page and humane society in the area. Just when you give up hope, you learn that your cat is safe and sound — only, it turns out, they're being kept at someone else's house. When you contact animal control and the sheriff's office to try and have your pet returned, they tell you its not within their jurisdiction, without offering exactly whose jurisdiction it falls to.
This has been the situation for Carson City resident Crystal Blackeye for nearly a year after her beloved pet cat, Anubis, went missing last October.
