NEW YORK: A very, very strange kitty case, indeed! A man was arrested in late 2014, in connection with the April discovery in Yonkers of 25 dead cats hanging from trees in plastic bags, a grisly find that led cat lovers to post $25,000 in reward money. Westchester County’s Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which offered the reward, said Rene Carcamo, 60, of Yonkers was charged with illegally disposing of the cats but not with killing them. Carcamo was also charged with animal cruelty after a vet found that two kittens in his possession were severely neglected.
