A Fort Wayne man is charged with felony torturing or mutilating a vertebrate animal and misdemeanor animal cruelty after reportedly killing his roommate's 2-month-old kitten and injuring another cat.

Andrew S. Gibbs, 27, of the 1300 block of Mayfield Road, was drunk Oct. 4, when Garan Galbreath left their home for work, according to a probable cause affidavit. When Galbreath returned, Gibbs was passed out in a bedroom and two cats – 4-month-old Mei and 2-month-old April – were missing, his roommate told police.

The older cat was found in Gibbs' room, with blood around its mouth, and investigators called to the home found a white, plastic McDonald's bag in a trash can outside the house. April was found dead inside the bag.

Galbreath told officers his roommate must have placed the cat in the trash can while he was away at a veterinary hospital seeking treatment for Mei.

A Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control officer found "a couple of small red stains on the wall in the stairwell" of the home, the affidavit alleges.

A veterinarian found April "was the victim of non-accidental blunt force trauma to the body resulting in injuries to both the thoracic and abdominal cavities," the officer wrote.

"The amount of blood loss into the abdominal cavity and the small size of the victim resulted in fatal injury," according to the affidavit.

A warrant has been issued for Gibbs' arrest.
