PETITION TARGET: District Attorney Kristyna S. Mills
UPDATE (3/10/2025): The woman pleaded guilty to aggravated cruelty to animals and was sentenced to five years of probation. Due to a probation violation, she is now incarcerated, according to District Attorney Kristyna S. Mills.
While we are glad that the perpetrator has been convicted, we’re sad to see that the penalties don’t fit the severity of the cruelty and abuse inflicted on this innocent cat.

An innocent cat is dead after a woman in Watertown, New York allegedly cooked the live animal in an oven, according to local news.
The defenseless companion animal became the gruesome casualty of an alleged fight between the woman and her sister. The police report stated that the woman “allegedly placed another person’s live cat in the oven, turned the heat on, and left the apartment, killing the cat,” Adirondack Daily Enterprise reported.
This defenseless cat, a sentient creature, was a victim of a cruel and senseless act that caused them unimaginable suffering. No animal deserves to be subjected to this kind of torture.
The woman was charged with a felony for animal cruelty along with a separate charge for allegedly stealing a phone. According to Adirondack Daily Enterprise, the cat’s guardian has also filed an order of protection against the woman.
Sign our petition demanding Jefferson County District Attorney Kristyna S. Mills treats this case with the severity it deserves and prosecutes the person responsible to the fullest extent of the law. Intensive psychological counseling should also be required for the individual who killed the helpless animal in such a horrific manner.
