Have you contacted a lawyer to see what your options were? Legally, a pet is property.

I will also say, if your friend gets the cat back, the cat should no longer have adventures out of supervision.

^This. What the ASPCA did is theft. You should press charges.

I'm not sure it would be considered theft. Sounds more analogous to a pawn shop reselling something that was stolen. Still not allowed, but not theft.
