As most people are now aware, there have been upwards of 50 cats, rabbits and foxes found dead, apparently murdered, across London over the past couple of years.
The police are well aware of the issue and are running an active investigation into it.
If you see someone behaving suspiciously around a cat, PLEASE DIAL 999 IMMEDIATELY and report it. It doesn’t matter if it turns out to be nothing – the police want to know.
If you find a cat who has the following injuries:
Slashed neck/ decapitation and/or

Any other injury which looks like it is a knife wound
Please:
Ask the person to contact us on 07957 830 490 or mobile 07961 030064 immediately
It is ABSOLUTELY VITAL that the body is/ parts are safeguarded and we will come out, even if it is after hours. We will liaise with the police and RSPCA to secure the scene.

A fox found in Crystal Palace on 27 Feb 2016 with both ears removed.
42 other historic cases in Croydon and the outskirts of the Borough in the last two years and we have reports of other cases going back to 2008.
There is also some evidence to suggest that a rabbit killed a few weeks ago in South Croydon and two puppies killed and left in a South Norwood park two years ago are also victims.
This case was brought to our attention by the community and we are pretty sure that it will be solved as a result of the community’s efforts.
Thank you
