    I should have known. I saw the population of a small colony I was trapping and doing TNR in, I saw the population dwindle from 32 to about 10 over the last two years. I saw a few dead cats in this mans yard and asked him about it but he seemed nice and said they are old and I believed him. Finally I have not see a sweet gal for over a week now. She was always around his yard. A sweet feral I fixed and released back to her area. I wish I had kept her but I have too many as it is.Now I know the girl is probably dead and I can only hope that he did it in a human way. I looked up the address 231 Walnut Manteca Ca and I see the house was sold October 2010 two years ago!!! The population of cats has gone down 60% in the last TWO years. Put two and two together.plus the fact I saw a couple dead cats in his yard. He said he called animal control to pick them up. I need to call animal control and see how often they have gone to his house to pick up these ” old” cats that died ” natural deaths”. So sad that the friendly nature of that one sweet little girl was used against her. Bless her trusting soul.I write this here sobbing. She would go up to anyone. I should have grabbed her and brought her home.I drive and look for her every evening, Maybe he just dumped her somewhere? She was happy in her familiar area. I didn’t know a killer was so near her.I am crying daily about this.

    Report him to the police and, more importantly, your local SPCA/Humane Society, whatever the equivalent in your country is. Don’t blame yourself, you made those cats’ lives so much better with all your dedication and hard work, you did a wonderful thing.

    Take photos.Get as much evidence as you can (be safe though) Report him to the local police department and the animal cruelty investigators. Killing cats in an inhumane way is usually felony animal cruelty.

    Sometimes all you need is the intentional killing of cats for a felony charge. Not even just humanely. If he isn’t a vet or shelter worker and he isn’t going through the standard euthanasia procedures it can be considered inhumane and thus getting him a felony charge.

    And you shouldn’t feel guilty. You chose to believe the best in people, and he let you down. He should be the guilty one. You are amazing for what you do for the animals.
