We are grateful to both the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and to Henrico Animal Control for appreciating the seriousness of the brutality inflicted upon these three companion animals, and we believe strongly that this individual should and will be convicted. While it appears that no charges will be filed against any WRLH management who provoked the killings, you may certainly express your outrage through your behavior as a consumer. Your response already has made clear that this unconscionable behavior will not be tolerated in our community and that the lives of feral cats and all companion animals are precious.

We will continue to work with other committed humane organizations to humanely manage the affected feral cat colony through Trap-Neuter-Return. The Richmond SPCA remains devoted to being a force for them and all other homeless companion animals throughout Greater Richmond. Thank you for your constant support of those who cannot speak for themselves. We need you, and so do they.

Pictured above is Scrappy, a former resident of the Fox feral cat colony. He is now in the care of the Richmond SPCA. He does not exhibit feral behavior, and will be available for adoption in the future.
