Found Tagged Cat

This declawed, older cat wandered up to my sister's house. It had a "petfinder"
tag, and rabies tag. The rabies tag was from a vet in Indiana. (we are in
Okla.)
She called the number for the petfinder tag. They said they could not release
the name of the owner due to privacy issues, but would pass along her number to
them. They never called. She called them back tonight (petfinders). They said
the owners had been contacted and were trying to reach her. But her phone has
caller ID on it, and it shows no calls for the whole day while she was at work.
They still wouldn't give her the name / address of the owner.

I don't get this. If it were me, I would *welcome* them to give my name to
someone who'd found my cat. I can't figure out why they won't. And I wonder if
she calls the vet off the rabies tag, if *they* will help her find the owner.
Does anyone know if vets will give out that info?

It's a real mystery. If the owner is still in Indiana, I can't imagine how the
cat got here. I really should bring it out here and put it in one of the extra
bedrooms. She has these yappy miniature rat terriers, and I'm sure they are
driving the poor thing nuts.

I'd call the number on the rabies tag too. Can't hurt. Maybe the owners
moved or changed phone numbers? Who knows? I can appreciate the vet
keeping someone's name and number private, but at the risk of losing a
beloved pet? Nawwww. Just tell me how to reach the owners.

I'd call the other number and see what happens. And yes, please temporarily
rescue the cat from the yapping terriers
