Public Information:

On 6/27/2026 the Mount Gilead Police Department received a complaint about a social media post that a town resident had made on Facebook regarding numerous cats at their residence. The resident stated in the post that “someone needs to come get these cats or they would go bye bye in a week”. A threat was not made to harm or kill the cats and has caused serious concerns in and around the town of Mount Gilead due to the wording of the statement made in the video. Detective Wood from the Mount Gilead Police Department received the complaint and looked into this social media post shortly after he talk with AC2 at Montgomery County Animal Services on 6/27/2026, and was informed that they they had no room for any new intakes at this time. On 6/28/2026 the detective went to the residence of the individual that made the social media post and talked to the owners. The owner of the property and his wife told the detective that they had also talk to Montgomery County Animal Services and that they were told it would be a week before they could come collect the cats because they had reached full capacity and that this is why the statement was made in the post stating, the cats would be going “bye bye in a week” referring to Animal Services coming to get them. While on scene the detective also observed approximately 15-20 cats/kittens in the yard and was also informed that they had been feeding the animals and would continue to feed them until Animal Services could come and get them. The animals on the property did not have any apparent injuries or looked like they had been neglected or abused. At this time there has been no crime committed or threats made to harm any animals. The owner of the property is willing to give the cats to anyone who may be interested. If anyone is interested please contact the Mount Gilead Police Department (910) 439-6711.
