Beginning in April of this year, a series of animal mutilations, most of which were cats, were discovered by Corpus Christi residents.

Since then police have documented 13 cases where cats have been either beheaded, dismembered, or disemboweled and left on the properties of residents and/or business owners.

Most of the cases have occurred on the South Side of Corpus Christi.

Investigators are seriously concerned about the increase of this type of behavior within our community and are asking for your help in identifying those responsible for these horrendous acts.

If any one has any information regarding these cat mutilations, you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS or long on at 888tips.com. The information you provide could earn you up to $1,000 in cash.
