Fosterer Kills Cat in Rage, Claims "Blanked Out"

Chloe Stanley, a 22-year-old from North Shields, has been sentenced for causing the death of a cat named Ash within 24 hours of it being placed in her care. Stanley, who described herself as a behaviorist, took in Ash on November 30, 2024, after its previous owner sought help.

During court proceedings, it was revealed that Stanley experienced a "burst of anger" and claimed to have "blanked out" while attacking the defenseless animal. The cat's owner had expressed concerns about Stanley's behavior upon initial meeting, noting her agitated demeanor towards Ash.

A post-mortem examination confirmed Ash suffered severe blunt trauma, with extensive bruising and internal bleeding, indicating significant force was used. The report concluded the cat's suffering was extreme and avoidable.
