Ten cats poisoned by attacker in Fenham
November 13, 2009 by Plus Pets
A SUSPECTED cat killer is being hunted after poisoning up to 10 moggies. An investigation is under way after the cats in Fenham, Newcastle, became ill and died of poisoning.
Now Dave Harrison and Mary Scott, who between them have lost seven cats, are appealing for help in catching the culprit.
Mr Harrison, 40, of Nafferton Place, Fenham, is now planning on leafleting local residents and starting a website in a bid to catch the culprit.
He said: “It seems someone in the area is maliciously poisoning cats which is just awful to think of.
“I know some people don’t like cats in their gardens but there are ways of deterring them without killing them.
“I lost four cats in six months and I won’t let our current two cats out of the house. I’m going to set up a website and put on pictures of the cats which have died to try to put a stop to this.”
The RSPCA is investigating after the spate of cat deaths.
It is not known what is being used but common substances such as weed killer and anti-freeze are known to be poisonous to cats.
Miss Scott, 34, of Rudchester Place, Fenham, has lost three cats in the last few months.
She said: “I think it’s someone doing it deliberately.
“There have been 10 cats that have died of poisoning in the local area.
“It’s a sick person who is doing it. They must not be right in the head. I just don’t understand why anyone would want to do it.
“It can’t just be someone protecting their garden.
“I think it’s a cat hater.”
It is thought other residents in the area have also lost their pets to the poisoner.
Insp Claire Hunt, of the RSPCA, said: “We are investigating the deaths of several cats in the area.
“While we don’t know for sure if it is being done deliberately, there can be no other explanation other than that they were poisoned.
“It’s unpleasant to think of someone going round poisoning cats and if anyone has any information about what has been happening we would like to hear from them.”
