Bonnie Folz calls on her cell phone from Flushing, where volunteers continue to post fliers and search, with this message:
Under no circumstances should any substance -- not antibiotics, not sedatives -- be placed in any food left out for Vivi.
Bonnie stresses that anyone wanting to be of help in the Vivi search effort should concentrate on posting fliers in the Flushing area. If out-of-staters want to contribute to the effort, she asks them to contact local vets' offices, police stations and shelters to alert them to Vivi's presence in the community; and to make large (11 x 17) brightly colored posters.
Wording should say:
