14th Cat Discovered in String of Mutilations
Another mutilated cat was found in the neighborhood where parts of 13 other felines have been discovered since the beginning of July, a spokeswoman for an animal protection group said Tuesday.
The head and one leg of a cat were found on the lawn of a home in the 600 block of North Citrus Avenue about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, said Mary Brankovic of the Los Angeles Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The discovery brings to 14 the number of cats found halved or cut in pieces in the Miracle Mile area of Los Angeles since July 8.
Dismembered cats also have been found on Burnside, Laurel, Martel, Clinton, Stanley, Mansfield and Melrose avenues and Orlando Street. The SPCA has increased its reward for information leading to the cat killer or killers from $3,050 to $4,050.
