Kingston police are on the lookout for a cat napper after a kitten was stolen from the humane society, of all places.
The theft happened last month, and police are now releasing these surveillance images of someone who they believe to be a ‘person of interest.’
Humane society officials say someone walked into one of the cat rooms unannounced on June 26th, and walked out with a kitten named Flipper.
“It’s disheartening on two cases for us,” said Connie Ball, Executive Director of the Kingston Humane Society. “One: someone taking from a charity. In terms of the money lost on the value that we put into the animals to look after them.”

The kitten is named ‘Flipper’ because it suffers from a congenital leg problem. She needs regular care in order to live a healthy life.
She was actually scheduled to be adopted the day after she was taken. Her would-be owners have since adopted a new kitten.
Kingston Police ask anyone with information on Flipper, or her whereabouts to contact them at 613-549-4660.
