SPCA worries of serial cat killer in Laval

Ashley Barth tells WAVY-TV her cat Mee Moowe disappeared in September as movers packed her family's belongings for a move from Suffolk, Virginia, to Hawaii - a nearly 8,000 kilometre journey.

Animal authorities are expressing concern after a cat was found dismembered on Belcourt Crescent in the Duvernay district of Laval May 16.

The kitten had a limb cut off and its throat slit. Two other cats had earlier been found poisoned with antifreeze in the same area, according to the SPCA, and other cats were also reported to have suffered suspicious deaths near there as well.

The SPCA is asking for anybody with tips concerning the deaths to contact them at 514-735-2711 x 2230 or email [e-mail]

Anybody found guilty of animal cruelty can face up to five years in Canadian prison.
