On Jan. 31, 2024, my Kilo was stolen. He's a perfect little Male Maltese, about 10 lbs. He was taken from inside Penn Station (Manhattan) while I was in the Ladies Room and my boyfriend was watching him. The whole thing was caught on video, and the kidnapper was arrested a few days later when she returned to Penn Station. But she didn't have Kilo with her. She told police she let him go because he bit her. They charged her with Petit Larceny even though it should've been a felony charge. She was let go with a desk appearance ticket, and a charge that wasn't even important enough for her to show up for her court dates. The police refused to let me see the video. All they did was tell me to look in all the shelters. It's been almost 6 months and I've been searching far and wide, day in and day out. Kilo has a microchip. If he were to show up in a shelter I'd be contacted. At this point, I believe I've exhausted all of my abilities. I need to hire a Professional who knows the ins and outs of the system know what information I'm entitled to and how to go about getting it, and knows the best way to get information out of people. I don't have any more room for error. This is too important. It has to be done right because I'm at serious risk of never seeing my little man again and that is not something I will ever be able to accept. Kilo and I have been through so much together. Our bond is so strong and he loves me so much...the thought that he's out there somewhere wondering why I haven't come to take him home is more than I can bear. I can still feel his little body next to me, and my heart breaks 100 times a day when I realize he's not there. KILO DESERVES BETTER! 

Please help me to raise $10k to cover the cost of hiring a reputable Private Investigator, and to cover the costs of rewards to be offered for information. And please get the word out there. If you're unable to donate, believe me, I understand. But please keep this story going. I tried so hard to get it on the news but nobody was interested. SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING!

Thank you all so much. Remember, we can all do great things when we believe in our own abilities to bring good things into the world. Believe in your own exceptionalism! And direct all of the light and goodness that you have inside you towards righting this wrong! Kilo is innocent. He must be afraid and confused. He needs to know that his Mommy loves him to the moon! I told him so every single day. 

I love you so much my little monster!  I will never stop looking for you. Remember, as soon as I saw your little face I said "I want you to be my baby". And you're the best baby ever!

PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION TOWARDS MY SEARCH FOR KILO. The police put me at a huge disadvantage when they refused to allow me to see the footage of his abduction which took place in Penn Station on Jan 31. They managed to arrest the kidnapper 2 days later,but she didn't have Kilo with her. My God, it would've been so simple to get him back at that point if they'd only done their jobs! But instead they charged her with Petit Larceny, basically the equivalent of stealing a pack of gum, and then they released her right from the precinct with a ticket. They didn't get any information from her that would help me find my little man. She told them she let him go because he bit her and they believed her. I feel so stupid now because I actually believed them! So I searched shelters and found dog listings thinking Kilo would be showing up as a stray dog. I realize now that I need a new plan of action. I need to get the truth from the kidnapper somehow. It's a very delicate situation because I can't FORCE anybody to do anything. And I don't want her to be afraid that I'm going to get her in trouble. So why would she possibly help me? And the only logical answer to that is money. And this is only a concern once she's been located. This is why I need a Professional. There are people who's entire careers have to do with how to communicate and gain influence over people. I only get one shot at this so it has to be perfect. Everyone I know has told me to give up. To get a new dog. I can't do it. I love my little man and he's out there somewhere living without his mommy. I could never find any kind of peace knowing that he doesn't understand why we aren't together. I hope this explains why I'm out here begging...it feels like crap, that's the truth. I'm doing it for Kilo though. I'm out of money right now and I can't do anything, I can't even print posters at the moment! Thank you all so much
