PET owners who have been victims of cat poisoning have set up an online support group.

Glen Brunsden, of Empire Road, Dovercourt, set up the Facebook group after three of his cats were put to sleep within two weeks of each other.

His pets were three of five cats on the street to suffer suspected anti-freeze poisoning which is still taking the lives of animals in Dovercourt.

The group, Victims and Friends of Cat Poisoning, Dovercourt, comes as other pet owners have reportedly lost their cats to poisoning in Bay Road, Dockfield Aveue, Pound Farm Drive and Hordle Street.

Police and the RSPCA are still unsure if the poisonings are deliberate or if there is a faulty car leaking anti-freeze.

Anyone with information should call Harwich Police on 101. The Facebook group can be found at facebook.com/VFCPDovercourt.
