Mutilated Cats Found In Broward
Cat Killings Continue In South Florida

LAUDERHILL -- Dead cats are now showing up in Broward County.

Lauderhill Police reported Wednesday that two dead cats were found in the city in the past week -- one over the weekend, and one Wednesday afternoon in the 4700 block of Northwest 13th Street.

Alyssa Capote told Local 10's Janine Stanwood that her cat was found mutilated in a neighbor's yard.

"All of her back was gone - and then gutted up," Capote told Local 10's Janine Stanwood.

Capote's neighbor, Russell Morris, found the cat.

"It was something rough to see," Morris said.

"In this case, the animal appeared to be cleanly cut up. As far as - almost looked like someone who knew what they were doing," said Lauderhill Police Captain Rick Rocco.

"And when I seen her laying there - it was just like - I couldn't believe it," Capote said.

Her second cat is now missing. Another one of her cats has a slash to the forehead. Capote thinks it is the marking of a botched attack.

In Miami-Dade County, nearly two dozen cats have been found mutilated and killed since early April. The latest attack was reported late Tuesday night in Palmetto Bay.

On Wednesday, police in both counties were looking into the possibility that the killer in all the cases is the same person.

"Our investigators will try to contact their investigators to see if there's any kind of link," Rocco said.

Capote said she just wants justice.

"I hope they pay for it - They better hope I don't catch them," she said.

A $3,500 reward is also being offered for any information leading to an arrest. Members of the community are also coming together to raise more money for that reward.

If you know anything that can help police solve this case, call Crimestoppers: Miami-Dade 305-471-TIPS | Broward: 954-493-TIPS.
