A woman who lives on Birdsong Street said she suspects her 2-year-old cat was poisoned two weeks ago, just one street away from Ronan Avenue, the street in northwest Gilroy that already has garnered four reports of poisoning earlier this month.Â
Ninette Frietas, 47, said that her cat Zim died less than a day after she noticed something was wrong. He began vomiting in the afternoon and by the next morning, he was dead.Â
Frietas said she already suspected that Zim was poisoned, but when she saw the April 16 Dispatch story about four suspected pet poisonings on Ronan Street, she was more certain.
Frietas did not file a police report.
“It’s just too weird for a fairly young, active cat to all of a sudden just die,” Frietas said. “I hope that they catch whoever this pet poisoner is.”
