The Long Island man accused of trapping his neighbor's cat and having it put down sent at least four other felines to their deaths, according to officials who run an Islip animal shelter.
Richard DeSantis, 56, was arrested Saturday, 11 days after he allegedly took a neighbor's cat to the pound and signed papers for it to be euthanized. A spokeswoman for the town, which runs the shelter, said DeSantis has been there before.
"The shelter's records indicate that since 1995, this gentleman has brought in five cats to be euthanized," said the spokeswoman, who did not give her name.
