Robin Stephen wants to know who came on her property, poisoned her cats and left them for dead.
"Anyone that brutalizes little kitties or cats they're an impotent coward," said Stephen.
It all started on Christmas day when Stephen saw her cat, Millie, crumpled up and whimpering in pain.
"Something had happened to her, but I wasn't sure what."
Stephen says that was just the beginning..."I found cats and little kittens dying or dead everywhere and I immediately knew at that point, they had the same symptoms, and I knew at that point they had been poisoned."
She says the fence leading to her house had been lowered, the light on the fence where she kept the cats had been shot out the week before and she found antifreeze on her property.
Stephen immediately realized the antifreeze had been used to poison her cats.
She believes someone used some type of device to get the antifreeze through the fence to the cats.
"Some were howling in pain," said Stephen when talking about how the cats suffered. "They couldn't lay on their stomach, couldn't lay on their sides and you knew something was wrong. They don't die right away. They suffer. It's a gruesome death."
In a letter that Stephen received from Tri-County Veterinary Services in Peterstown, West Virginia where she took one of the cats for observation, the vet says the animal had ingested antifreeze, the symptoms were irreversible and the cat was humanely destroyed.
About a dozen cats died.
But, luckily, several of them *did not* ingest the antifreeze.
Stephen says they're now in a safe location out of state and she's now looking for the person who put them all in danger.
Stephen has yet to file a police report, but she is offering a reward if anyone lets her know who poisoned the cats.
Stephen says she plans to turn over all the information she receives to the proper authorities.
If you know anything that can help Stephen, you're asked to call her at

Stephen says she's also working to introduce a bill that would make it a felony to poison animals.
