- Florida, USA -

 

The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office arrested 24-year-old QUADRE ISAIAH ROBERTS (pictured).

 

According to the arrest report obtained by Voice For Us, early on the morning of Friday, May 17, 2024, a deputy responded to a residence in the 12400 block of SW 171st Place in Archer after receiving a call from ROBERTS’ adoptive mother.

 

The woman said that the night before, ROBERTS walked into the house holding a deceased cat and told her he would do the same to her. He then also told her that he had killed two of her cats, stabbing them both in the eye and leaving the knives in the wounds. According to the report, one of the cats had also his/her paws cut off.

 

The woman told the responding deputy that ROBERTS had been acting erratically for the past two days because she refused to give him a ride to somewhere he wanted to go; additionally, she explained that ROBERTS suffers from Bi-polar schizophrenia and refuses to take his prescribed medication.

 

ROBERTS was placed under arrest. The arresting deputy reported that as soon as they got into the vehicle, ROBERTS asked whether he was being arrested for killing the cats. The deputy responded that he was, so ROBERTS started screaming and said that he had killed nineteen (19) more cats. ROBERTS went on to say that he had eaten the tongues and eyeballs of two cats. 

 

According to the report, ROBERTS further said he would kill himself in jail and that he wishes his mom “was dead and would burn in hell.” ROBERTS then stated he would kill her when he got out of jail.

 

ROBERTS was charged with two felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.

 

Judge James Colaw set at $200,000 bail and at the time of writing, records show the murderer is still in custody.

DEBORAH RAYE PALCOWSKI and RAVEN RENEE STAINES facing charges – 51 animals rescued from their home

Updated: May 3, 2024

- Michigan, USA -

 

~ Update: May 2, 2024

 

I have heard back from Little Traverse Bay Humane Society.  Its Executive Director, Elise Ramsey, advised that “There were no deceased animals on the property. Zero animals were euthanized, and they are all thriving in our care with basic husbandry, clean bedding, and fresh food and water.”


Ms. Ramsey further advised that: “They are LOVING acting like cats should act....chasing fake mice and feather wands, sampling all of the delectable treats we have to offer and basking in the sun with fresh air flowing through the windows. Finally living the life they deserve. Several were suffering from intestinal parasites, in need of medical grooming, and in need of dental cleanings. They are all getting the care they need and deserve, and some have already found their forever homes.”

 

Ms. Ramsey kindly shared a picture of Bixby, one of the dogs who was rescued. Bixby was recently adopted.

Emmet County Prosecutor Michael Schuitema announced that 30-year-old RAVEN RENEE STAINES and her mother, 60-year-old DEBORAH RAYE PALCOWSKI, have been charged with animal cruelty after more than fifty (50) animals were rescued from a suspected hoarding case.

 

According to the press release by Emmet County Prosecutor Michael Schuitema obtained by Voice For Us, the investigation in this case began when an Emmet County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to the duo’s home for an unrelated issue and saw “numerous animals and concerning living conditions at the residence.” 

 

On April 16, 2024, the Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant and with the assistance of the Little Traverse Bay Humane Society, forty-nine (49) cats and two (2) dogs were removed.

 

On the same day, the Little Traverse Bay Humane Society advised through a Facebook post that they had rescued fifty-one (51) animals from the duo’s home and that many of the furvictims needed “medical treatment, grooming, bathing, and foster care.” Several cats also had very young kittens.

 

In a subsequent Facebook post, the nonprofit wrote that the rescued furvictims were settling in to the shelter “and decompressing with comfy bedding, clean water and plenty of food. They all received medical exams yesterday, and are on their way to a bright and healthy future.”

 

The nonprofit expressed their gratitude toward those who donated and helped them face this new hardship.

Emmet County Prosecutor Michael Schuitema said that PALCOWSKI was charged with animal cruelty – twenty-five or more animals and lying to a law enforcement officer. The animal cruelty charge carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison.

 

STAINES is facing one felony count of animal cruelty: four to ten animals, which carries a sentence of up to only two years in prison.

 

PALCOWSKI and STAINES will be arraigned and their cases will be set for preliminary examinations in the 90th District Court for the County of Emmet.

TIFFANY NICHOLE BURLEY indicted on twenty-eight felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals

- Georgia, USA -

 

A Cobb County Grand Jury indicted 36-years-old TIFFANY NICHOLE BURLEY (pictured), on twenty-eight (28) felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty.

 

BURLEY is accused of letting twenty-five (25) of her cats die at a home on 6566 Arbor Gate Drive in Mableton.

 

According to official documents obtained by Voice For Us, on September 19, 2023, an officer with the Cobb County Police Department responded to the aforementioned property to conduct a welfare check on BURLEY who “...hadn’t been to work in two weeks”.

 

When the officer arrived at the home, BURLEY was not there and neighbors confirmed they “...hadn’t seen her in weeks” either.

 

The yard around the house was covered in fleas. The officer noticed a decomposing smell coming from the home and forced entry.

 

Upon entering the home, the officer found dozens of dead cats who appeared to “...have been trapped and abandoned in the residence”.

 

From the back sliding door, the officer could see inside the home and noticed “garbage scattered all over the floor and furniture”. The officer reported that they “...could make out the remains of at least one deceased cat lying on the floor in the ‘main room’" and that “...the screens on the bottom windows have claw marks on them as does the far-right top screen”.

 

The findings were then passed on to Cobb County Animal Services Investigator David Whitley.

 

The Cobb Couty Animal Services Director, Stephen Hammond, has advised that search warrants were executed and the evidence was collected.

 

On Wednesday, April 24, 2024, BURLEY was indicted by a Cobb County Grand Jury and her case will proceed through the court. The indictment accuses BURLEY of knowingly and intentionally abandoning thirty-one (31) cats at the residence, causing death or unjustifiable physical pain or suffering.

 

The cats were abandoned without food or water and were forced to live in unsanitary conditions.

 

These furvictims were found in different states of decomposition. Those who still had fur on them were extremely emaciated.

 

At the time of writing, BURLEY is being held at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

 

If convicted, BURLEY could spend several years behind bars, with Mr. Hammond advising it “...could be five years for each felony count”.

 

Still, she will be fed before and after her imprisonment, she won’t be emaciated!
