Is Someone Trying To Poison Local Cats?

A neighbor helping to organize a TNR effort on Stratford this week is concerned about the welfare of some neighborhood felines. She writes:

Someone has been putting dry cat food out on Stratford Road between Dorchester and Cortelyou with coffee beans in it. Coffee beans causes caffeine poisoning and can cause death in cats.

Neighbors have seen an older woman with white hair doing this, seemingly in the morning. If you see a plate of cat food with coffee beans in it, please put it in the trash (or at least, remove the coffee beans).

If anyone has information about who’s distributing the food, please email editor@ditmasparkcorner.com and we’ll put you in touch with the neighbor who wrote.
