A loving cat owner was horrified to find their pet in a garden with his ears and face mutilated.
The shocking discovery has sparked fresh concern that a feline killer is at large. Ovie, who was not yet two years old, was found by its young owner in Caterham, near Croydon, with his ears and the side of his scalp removed on Tuesday (March 14).
A vet has reportedly since confirmed the injuries were caused by a human and that Ovie was likely injured by a sharp object. As a result, Boudicca Rising, of the South London Animal Investigation Network (Slain), has called for cat owners to be vigilant and to report as she continues the manhunt for the infamous ‘Croydon Cat Killer’, feared by residents.
