I probably talked to at least 30 people, and for the most part, they're all aware of Oliver's disappearance and all very concerned. People are so kind in The Villages.

We also drove around Margarita and Enrique and talked to anyone outdoors and showed Oliver's picture. We also talked to people at the local Mail Station. Sadly, we didn't find Oliver. But we did find so many people who love animals and expressed concern, and promised to call if they spot him. And they promised to alert their neighbours.

I think the very best way of publicizing a cat's disappearance is on the radio station. They seem very open to talking about animals that are lost or found. I'm very disappointed we couldn't find anyone who has recently had an Oliver sighting. However there is abundant food available once he hones up his hunting skills. I feel there is still an excellent chance that Oliver and Marcia will be reunited!

Bare,
You're so kind as always. Wish I were there to help. I can't wait to read the happy news of Marcia and Ollie's reunion.
