No, unfortunately. They had a reputation for doing this sort of thing and people in the surrounding community "knew" who did it but it couldn't be proven. I've heard more horror stories since then but I won't go into detail here. Too depressing. But black cats in this community are unsafe, esp. during Halloween season. I know that it's that way in a lot of places but not a Halloween goes by that they don't run an article that another black cat was found mutilated, which is even more reason why I was so scared when Boo, who is all black, was missing for a day. And any rescues that I took in that were black stayed w/me well until the Halloween season was over. The very last one I rescued, Chessie, went to my good friend and cat sitter, so I know he's safe and in good hands. It can be a cruel world out there for critters, esp. cats. But we all here at PT and elsewhere do what we can to help. I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't.

Blessings,
