Caveat

[Moon]

Please be very careful when seeking an adoptive home for a non-human animal; this isn't the first time.

"...at least 12 cats and kittens he found on Craigslist, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
"According to police, deceased cats were found throughout the suspect’s neighborhood since January. The crimes stayed hidden until a man spotted someone dumping a dead cat. After finding a match to the car used during the dump, police arrested Kaine A. Louzader for the heinous crimes. Louzader admitted to police that he obtained cats through Craigslist ads, stomped on their heads and strangled them, according to the Post-Dispatch.
"This tragic case serves as an important reminder of the dangers of selling pets onlineinstead of relinquishing them to reputable shelters and rescues.
"Although there is little information available on who was selling the cats who were eventually killed, it is possible they were pet owners thinking their animals were going to a loving home.
"Instead, these animals were senselessly tortured, likely enduring severe pain and suffering before being killed and discarded outside like garbage."
