The Calgary Humane Society, along with the Calgary Police Service, has charged a 19-year-old man in connection with a case of animal abuse in Willow Park earlier this year.
About a week later, the Humane Society was notified about a black and white domestic short haired cat found in the same alley in the same condition.
Both animals were taken to a local veterinarian where it was determined that dog died of starvation and had been chronically malnourished.
The examination of the cat showed that it died of asphyxia and strangulation. The animal also suffered multiple traumatic injuries to the head, tail, and hind limbs.
Following a lengthy investigation, Nicolino Ivano Camardi, 19, has been charged with two counts of wilfully causing unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal.
Further information is expected later on Monday.
