The Australian attacked an animal shelter to find his cat. Writes about this The Age. The fact that the animal is kept in this particular shelter was reported to Tony Whitmann by phone. But they asked to wait for the morning and then come for the beast. However, the cat owner did not want to wait. He rushed to the shelter with a rifle at the ready, tied up the employee and tried to find out from her where the animal was. Having achieved nothing, the man abandoned his victim and fled.
Tony was arrested the next day when he returned to the orphanage. He was charged with kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, armed robbery, threat of serious bodily harm and use of firearms. The man confessed everything, but asked the help of a psychologist. He explained to the guards that the cat was his best friend and her disappearance unbalanced.
