Pet Owner Threatens Animal Shelter Workers With Bat When Picking Up His Cat

DALLAS —  Police are looking for an irate pet lover so intent on liberating his lost cat that he wielded a bat to fend off animal shelter employees.

Dallas Animal Shelter manager Kent Robertson says the man found his missing gray and blue short-haired cat at the shelter, where it had been brought by someone who thought it was a stray.

He blew his stack when told he had to pay a $132 fee to take his cat.

Police say the man returned Monday, loaded his cat into a carrier without paying the fee, and threatened the staff with the baseball bat. No one was injured.

Most people thank shelter workers. Says Robertson: "This was pretty extreme."

The man could be charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated assault.

Police Senior Cpl. Kevin Janse says police have a clue — the man signed the shelter guest book before fleeing.

Are they sure it was a man?

Anybody know of Subway Cat's whereabouts during the time in question?

$132 is really steep unless your cat required medical treatment.  I only had to pay $60 to bail my stupid dog out and it would have been much less if I would have gotten her license that year.

Your dog was only charged with misdemeanor pissing on city property (a fire hydrant) when you bailed him out.  I'm betting the cat was facting felony charges.  That's why the bail was so much higher.

That makes sense.  Cats are inherently evil.   :fuelfire:

You would think with the thousands of cats they have to gas every year they would just give some of them away.  At our local dog pound it is $60 for cats including all shots and sterilization, $90 for dogs.  My free cat I found in a tree cost me about $500 to get it well, get shots, and denutted.
I guess 60/90 is pretty good for all you get.
