If you have any information, you are asked to call police.
SAN ANTONIO — The search is on for a man accused of strangling a kitten at an apartment complex this past Sunday, police say. And now one organization has stepped up to offer a reward for the suspect’s identity.
SAPD is now releasing new video, hoping someone can help identify the man.
Officials say the man was caught on video surveillance, chasing a kitten, and appearing to strangle the kitten in the stairwell of an apartment complex.
Police have not said where the apartment is located, but they released the video of the man they believe is behind the crime, seen leaving on Ring camera footage.
Alley Cat Allies, the leader of the global movement to protect cats and kittens, is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the prosecution and conviction of a man who strangled a kitten.
The organization says they will offer expert support to the prosecution and call for a severe penalty that includes jail time when a suspect is identified.
“Alley Cat Allies is working with police to seek information that will find, prosecute, and convict the perpetrator of this heinous act. We hope issuing a reward will make the difference,” said DanaMarie Pannella, director of law and policy at Alley Cat Allies. “If anyone has knowledge that will help us identify this man and achieve justice for this kitten, we ask that you please come forward.”
Officials are asking anyone with any information to contact the San Antonio police department’s property crimes task force at (210) 207-8326.
