Sign: Outrage After Serial Cat Killer, Responsible for Slaying Dozens of Cats, Released from Jail!

Published: May 05, 2025 at 02:30 PM Author: PENNY EIMS

Santa Ana, CA – On April 23, Santa Ana Police executed a search warrant at the home of Alejandro Acosta Oliveros in the 2300 block of W. Wilshire Avenue. The 45-year-old man found himself facing felony animal cruelty charges for abducting and killing what police say are “a lot” of cats in the area.

Though Oliveros had “evidence” of killing cats inside his home, AND he confessed to slaying felines, he was released from custody shortly after being apprehended.

 

People living in the area where Oliveros abducted and killed cats are outraged that this CONFESSED cat killer is once again on the loose after posting bail. There are even reports from an area cat rescue that Oliveros has ALREADY killed another cat after being released from custody.

Residents had been reporting the cruel incidents to the authorities for weeks with victimized families sharing their horror stories on various social media outlets, including the Nextdoor neighborhood platform.

Families said Oliveros lured cats and then tortured and killed them in various ways. One person said, “Hello! I’m near El Salvador Park, and my neighbor’s cat was killed by a man who injected it with some sort of substance.” Another person said they found their cat hanging from a tree. People who witnessed Oliveros committing crimes say he lured cats with food, then stepped on them when they got close to him.

This man is clearly a danger to cats in the area, and a danger to society as a whole. Animal Victory needs your support to show court officials that the prosecution of this man MUST be taken seriously. The District Attorney’s Office has told Animal Victory that a case number has not yet been assigned, but we will be working to ensure that this does not fall through the cracks. Please add your name to the petition today!

Target: Orange County District Attorney’s Office

WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS: 

We, the undersigned, demand Alejandro Acosta Oliveros be held accountable for his cruel actions, resulting in the deaths of more than a dozen innocent cats. We collectively insist that this man NOT receive a plea deal – he is a dangerous individual who MUST be brought to justice.

Research has consistently shown a strong link between animal cruelty and human violence. Individuals who commit such heinous acts against animals often pose a threat to society as a whole, as animal abuse is frequently a precursor to other violent crimes. Failing to hold this man accountable not only denies justice for the suffering and death he caused but also endangers the community at large. It is imperative that we send a clear message that such cruelty will not be tolerated.

Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.

Note: Statement released from the Santa Ana Police about Oliveros’ release from jail, “The suspect in the recent animal cruelty investigation was arrested last week and he later posted bail. We recognize the strong emotions this case has generated and ask the public to please allow the judicial process to take its course.”
