DALLAS - Police are looking for an irate pet lover so intent on liberating his lost cat that he wielded a bat to fend off animal shelter employees.
Dallas Animal Shelter manager Kent Robertson said the man found his missing gray and blue short-haired cat at the shelter, where it had been brought by someone who thought it was a stray.
He blew his stack when told he had to pay a $132 fee for rabies shots, boarding and a microchip implant.
Police say the man returned Monday, loaded his cat into a carrier without paying the fee, and threatened the staff with the baseball bat. No one was injured.
Most people thank shelter workers.
"This was pretty extreme," Robertson said.
The man could be charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated assault.
Police Senior Cpl. Kevin Janse says police have a clue — the man signed the shelter guest book before fleeing.
