Beloved Cat named “Fat Albert” taken from Longhorn Cafe in Santa Ynez

SANTA YNEZ, Calif. (KEYT) A cat named "Fat Albert" is missing from the Longhorn Cafe in Sanya Ynez.

Some people think a woman seen on video took him and his crate from the porch area, and they hope she will return the cat.

The 17-year-old cat has been a fixture at the cafe.

He belonged to Mike Minot, the owner of the cafe, who recently passed away.

The new owner, Debbie Jacobsen, took over the cafe and the care of the popular cat.

Neighboring businesses, including Maverick Saloon on Sagunto St., have posted signs.

One reads: "Bring Fat Albert Back Home to Longhorn."

Julia DiSieno of the Animal Rescue Team shared the information.

She said the nonprofit is offering a $500 reward for the return of "Fat Albert."
