CHRISTOPHER M. GARUFI arrested for throwing a cat into the Great South Bay

Updated: Sep 1, 2022

- New York, USA -



~ Update: September 1, 2022


I have learned that the furbaby is a female named Mila Kovi.

Her human dead, Mr. Rob Kovi, tells me that Mila, who is like a daughter to him, has an Instagram account: @milakovi220.

I have added new pictures of Mila shared from her dad’s Facebook account.



~ Original story:


Roy Gross, Chief of the Suffolk SPCA, said that his detectives charged 48-years-old CHRISTOPHER M. GARUFI with animal cruelty, assault and aggravated harassment, all class A misdemeanors.


GARUFI is accused of throwing a defenseless cat into the Great South Bay after assaulting the furbaby’s guardian and threatening to harm him.


The Suffolk County SPCA said in a news release that when GARUFI threw the cat into the water, the poor soul was trapped inside his/her guardian’s cat carrier backpack.


The backpack and the cat became completely submerged under water. Thankfully, a bystander immediately jumped into the water and rescued the VOICELESS VICTIM whom I am overjoyed to report is not harmed. The incident happened outside of The Schooner Inn in Ocean Bay Park, Fire Island.


GARUFI, of 75 E. Hoffman Avenue, Lindenhurst, surrendered to SPCA detectives on August 20, 2022.


Online court records show that GARUFI is scheduled to appear in Suffolk First District Court, Central Islip, on September 9, 2022, at 9:00 a.m.


My heartfelt thank you to the hero who saved this precious life!

GARUFI, for you I sincerely wish that someone will pick you up, toss you around, and then drop you on concrete with pieces of glass on it!

On Voice For Us animal abusers are guilty until proven innocent!

REWARD offered in a case of a Eurasian lynx captured after roaming the streets in Central Islip

- New York, USA -


The Suffolk County SPCA said in a press release that they are offering a reward for information leading to a criminal conviction of the person(s) responsible “for owning and endangering the public with a Eurasian lynx.”


The Suffolk County SPCA said that the Eurasian lynx was captured on July 29, 2022, by the Suffolk County Police after roaming the streets in Central Islip for three days.


NBC New York reports that on the morning of Tuesday, July 26, 2022, Ms. Diane Huwer was about to feed her cats when she spotted the feline who looked to be about twice the size of a fox.


According to Long Island Press, Strong Island Animal Rescue captured the male Eurasian lynx and brought him to Sweetbriar Nature Center in Smithtown.


The Suffolk County SPCA explained that Eurasian lynx, as Felidae, “are among numerous dangerous animals listed in State environmental regulations. Possessing them is prohibited in New York State without a special license from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). Releasing animals into the environment is also a violation of the law and can result in arrest and fines.”


The nonprofit further explained that according to Article 26 of the NYS Agriculture and Markets Law, “no person shall knowingly own, possess, harbor any wild animal capable of inflicting bodily harm upon a human being or failing to exercise due care in safeguarding the public.”


If you have any information about this case, please call the Suffolk County SPCA at (631) - 382 - 7722 or NYSDEC Police at (631) - 444 - 0250. Thank you!


The Suffolk County SPCA encourages anyone who comes across a dangerous animal to alert the agency or NYSDEC and let them handle the situation professionally. Thank you!
