Cat owner wants her cat back

[Catherine]

That is a good point about the microchip. It does establish that the cat was not a stray, but rather someone's lost pet. That means the cat is not available for adoption or at least it shouldn't be.
Even if the microchip info was out of date, it would still list the name of the owner. It would not be impossible to find someone if you have their name.

Donna's people are willing to pay the adoption fee and give up a kitten. How could anyone refuse to help them get their cat back.
Charlene needs a lawyer to act of this right away.
