More deceased cats with signs of abuse have been found in Ottawa’s west end in an area bounded by Greenbank, Baseline, Merivale and Hunt Club Road. In total, six cats have been discovered and are under investigation.

“This is an extremely disturbing pattern of violence,” said Bruce Roney, OHS President & CEO. “The sooner the killer is in custody, the better.”

The OHS is urging owners to keep cats indoors, and stresses the importance of this while an animal killer may be running at large.
