According to a release Tuesday from Humane Officer Chris O’Donnell, residents living on Hobson Drive in Ford City reportedly found a dead cat on their property line on Sunday. On Monday, two other cats were found dead on their driveway. All three cats were buried, according to the release.
“Upon inspection of the adult tabby, no visible injuries were found. The cat appeared to be well cared for, perhaps someone’s pet,” the release said. “The cat was transported to a veterinarian for a necropsy, however, at this time the cause of death is unknown. Due to the number of felines found within a 24-hour period of an undetermined cause at the same location, information is being sought to determine if a crime was committed.”
