Authorities released surveillance video of the men and asked the public for help identifying them.

CFR Patio employees feed the feral cats in the area and have taken some of the felines home. But, they say, “we can’t take every one of them, so we try to take care of them here as much as we can.”

Some of the cats are pretty friendly, including the one that was killed, named Scruffy. Someone was preparing their home to take the cat with them.

The humane society has taken the cat’s body as evidence, and are watching security video from other businesses in the area to help with the investigation.
