Novelist, comics writer, and librarian based in Portland, Oregon.
And as of a few hours ago, Lilly is home. Her owner lives more than a hundred blocks from where we found her. We got the phone number from her microchip.
Lilly had been missing for three weeks. As soon as we found out where she lived, we drove her there.
A little ways away from her owner’s place, we saw this:
Lilly is the fourth animal I’ve helped to reunite with an owner.
Oh, and we didn’t take the reward.
You've found Sara Ryan's website. I write books and comics for teens and others, I work as a librarian, and I blog about any number of things, though estate sales, thrift stores, and my cat are recurring themes. Some things you can do here: listen to me read my first novel, Empress of the World, read some of the comics I've written, and find out what I got certificates of achievement for in 1983.

missing cats:
i don’t know. but the four animals are “throughout my life thus far,” not, like, all within the last year, thank god. a cat, a dog, another dog, and now lilly.

this is indeed under discussion.
apparently the oregon humane society has a kitten interview room, which i find hilarious and heartbreaking to contemplate…

One hundred blocks! That’s one globe-trekkin’ kitty. Glad you could get Lilly home to a loving owner.

You must feel great. Another family reunited. A job well done.
