Urbandale Police Need Help Finding Cat Who's Bitten Two People

Urbandale Police have asked for the public's help in locating a black cat -- and its owner -- because authorities believe the feline has bitten two people.

A police department news release says a black cat wearing a pink collar has bitten two people this week in the downtown Urbandale area.

Sgt. Gary Lang said the bites took place in the area of 69th Street and Douglas Avenue. One victim was a juvenile, the other in their 20s.

Because the animal has not been found, the bite victims have begun undergoing rabies shots, Lang said.

If you know of someone who owns a cat matching this description -- or if you are the animal's owner -- you're asked to call WestCom Dispatch at (515) 222-3321.
