The San Antonio Police Department is seeking public\u2019s help in identifying a suspect who allegedly strangled a kitten to death at a Southwest side apartment complex Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The suspect, who was wearing a red hoodie, was caught in the act by a neighbor\u2019s surveillance camera, according to San Antonio police. In the footage, the suspect appears to chase and catch a kitten taking its life, an SAPD Facebook post states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Neighbors told KSAT the kitten was one of a group of strays<\/a> living at the building on Yarrow Boulevard. Residents often leave food and water out for the homeless felines, they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police encourage those with information on the suspect to contact the San Antonio Property Crimes Task Force at (210) 207-8326.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cat strangling is the latest instance of animal abuse in San Antonio to grab headlines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In September, a woman who was caught on camera striking a puppy<\/a> multiple times, sparking outrage, accepted a plea deal in relation to her animal cruelty charges. <\/p>\n

In another instance, a man was spotted throwing a cage of kittens off a bridge <\/a>in 2020. Although Animal Care Services launched an investigation into the matter, the culprit was never charged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
