Florida Woman Faces Felony Animal Cruelty Charges After Allegedly Burying 4 Kittens Alive: ‘She Didn’t Want Black Or Brown Cats In Her Home, Believing They Were Demons’

Florida’s Martin County Sheriff’s Office recently arrested a woman on multiple felony charges, accusing her of killing 4 kittens, burying 2 alive, because she believed they were “demonic.” Last Thursday (October 8), police arrested 37-year-old Alba Chavez. They charged her with four felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty involving torture, inflicting pain, serious injury or death to an animal. Police said additional charges could follow if a missing fifth kitten is found dead. .

While speaking at press conference on Friday (October 9), MCSO Sheriff John Budensiek described Chavez as an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. He noted, “She’s not going anywhere, any time soon.”

In a Facebook post, MCSO said Uniform Patrol Deputies and Investigators with MCSO Animal Services are investigating after discovering two kittens buried alive and two dead outside a home in the Hobe Sound Mobile Home Park.

At the time of the announcement, MCSO said deputies were actively digging up parts of the property. They said the homeowner, Chavez, admitted to burying at least four of her cast alive in her yard. She allegedly told police she believed they were demons. Following her admission, deputies began a rescue and search mission in Chavez’s backyard. Police were able to save two of the kittens. However, two others were found deceased.

Additionally, a fifth kitten remains missing, with authorities on the hunt. The two found alive were rushed to a veterinary emergency clinic. Veterinarians treated them for dehydration and monitored them. Police said, “If they survive, they’ll eventually be taken to the Humane Society and go through the adoption process.” Authorities also said there were other adult cats found at the home. They were examined by animal services and determined to be healthy.

Furthermore, Sheriff Budensiek said three children living in the home called 911 after realizing their kittens had disappeared. The children said they believed Chavez killed two kittens earlier in the week and they feared for the others.

Chavez allegedly admitted to killing two kittens on Monday (October 5). She said she threw them into the trash, removed them, and then buried them in her backyard. So, the children attempted to protect the remaining kittens. They did so by locking them inside a bedroom before heading out to dinner Thursday evening. However, when the children returned home, they found the door forced open and the kittens missing in action.

While speaking at press conference on Friday (October 9), Budensiek said:

“When deputies arrived, she admitted she thought the kittens had demons and said she didn’t want black cats or brown cats in her residence.”
