Alley Cat Allies, the leader of the global movement to protect cats and kittens, is doubling its reward offer from $7,500 to $15,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for killing several cats in the town of Lake Clarke Shores around April of 2024.
According to investigators, the cats appear to have been shot. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lake Clarke Shores Police Department at 561-964-1515 and ask for Lieutenant Fisher.
Alley Cat Allies has also sent postcards to households across Palm Beach County to alert residents about the case and encourage anyone with information to come forward.
«The cat victims of these horrific acts of cruelty deserve justice, and Alley Cat Allies is determined to achieve it. Convicting the person or persons responsible is essential for the safety of animals and people in Lake Clarke Shores,» said Coryn Julien, program communications officer for Alley Cat Allies. «We hope increasing the reward will result in information that pinpoints the perpetrator so they can be penalized to the fullest extent of the law.»
Investigators say each cat was found deceased in bodies of water in the area of Carambola Road and Carambola Circle of Lake Clarke Shores in and before April 2024. Cats were reported missing as far back as December of 2023.
Every animal deserves to be protected from animal cruelty. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws criminalizing acts of cruelty toward animals. The well-documented link between animal cruelty and violence toward people also factors into the gravity of these crimes in Lake Clarke Shores.
