In a spate of absolutely deplorable attacks locals believe a cat killer has been mutilating their pets after five were attacked in one street in 18 months which left four beloved family pets DEAD! The four who died had injuries that included burns, a crushed vertebrae and singed whiskers.
Locals have come together and raised more than £1,200 to offer as a reward in an attempt to find the cat killer.
Yvonne Harrison’s cats Ziggy and Taiyou both died within a year after being injured near her home in Roundham Road. Police have been informed and are working with the affected families.
According to BBC England:
Ziggy was attacked in the summer of 2017 and then again in March 2018, when he died from his injuries.
Taiyou was attacked and seriously injured in November and died on 8 January following complications.All three of the other cats were also from Roundham Road, including Alice, who died after suffering a crushed vertebrae that vets said was not caused by a car crash.
Dr Bamford said the cats’ injuries were not consistent with an accident and had “clearly been done with intention by someone or a group of people”.
Debbie Johnson who runs the Paignton-based charity Feline Network has helped the people who live there with an online campaign raising funds for a reward. More than £1,200 has been raised and will go to someone who gives information which catches the culprit.
Previously the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into the ‘Croydon Cat Killer’ in 2015 after a series of reports of mutilated cats in the Croydon area.
During a three-year inquiry detectives received more than 400 similar reports of cats being mutilated across London and surrounding counties.
