For 16 years, Cathy Anderson has run The Briar Patch, a children’s book and toy store on Central Street in Bangor.
For the past four years, Briar Patch staff and patrons have enjoyed the company of Aslan, a large orange coon cat “with no white on him, thumbs on his front paws, and a huge tail,” Anderson wrote.
Azee, as she calls him, “was a fixture known to many, in the shop and in the park, between Central and State streets.”
Unfortunately, Azee has been missing since Saturday, Oct. 25, “and there has been a steady stream of people in here, expressing their concern and sadness,” she added.
Anderson believes that “in the absence of evidence to the contrary,” as she explains it, “we feel that someone took him, intentionally.”
“We would like them to know that he is due for his rabies vaccination, and he needs periodic treatment for a virus in his mouth, which shows up as black spots.”
People who love Azee are offering a $1,000 reward for his safe return, and hope you will help him find his way back to The Briar Patch.
If you have information about Azee, visit The Briar Patch, 27 Central St., Bangor, or call 941-0255.
