Missing cat $500 reward

My daughters best friend and cat was live trapped by my neighbor.
Any information leading to our cat coming home will be paid for.
The man who live trapped him claims he took our cat to the shelter with another 3 stray cats.
All of them being orange tabby cats.
The cats never showed up at the shelter, he changed his story and said he gave them to a young man in front of the shelter.
We live off gooch hill, it’s possible he dumped them somewhere close to us.
My daughter raises this at from 2 weeks old.
It is an extremely important pet to our whole family! Please if you have any information reach out by email or 406 four oh four 09 seven five.
