Jennifer Delano let her orange tabby cat, Max, outside around 6 a.m. on Friday. Roughly two hours later, a neighbor posted that the body of a cat matching Max’s description was found. At least 21 cats have gone missing in the Fairmount neighborhood since June and only one has returned home. Some residents were certain that wildlife known to be in the area, including coyotes, foxes and fishers, were killing the cats. A police detective assigned to this matter is leading the investigation.
