6 Cats, Including Kittens, Dumped From Car In Naugatuck

NAUGATUCK, CT — Naugatuck Animal Control officers are asking for help finding the suspect's vehicle after a person was seen dumping six cats, including kittens, from a vehicle in Naygatuck Saturday.

A witness told animal control that they saw the cats being dumped at Fairchild Park in the Borough of Naugatuck, but did not get the person's license plate because he did not understand what he was witnessing.

The suspect was in an older-model Jeep Cherokee that was charcoal graying or black with tinted windows, officials said.

Officers soon found two adult cats panting underneath some bleachers at the park. A witness saw three kitchens run from the area into the wood lines of the park. Animal control was able to rescue one of them.

Officials are asking anyone with information to call the Naugatuck Police Department at 203-729-5222 or email NaugatuckAnimalControl@gmail.com.
