Toronto police are investigating after a tiny baby kitten was stolen from a North York pet store.

While pet stores can no longer sell cats and dogs, they often facilitate adoptions for shelters or rescue groups, and Team Cat Rescue is the organization working out of this Pet Valu.

They have been concerned about Einstein for over two months and on Thursday, police put out a release about the theft.

A man walked into the store near Yonge Street and Cummer Avenue just before 9 p.m. on May 4, police allege.

He approached the cat enclosure, opened the door, reached in, and placed the kitten inside his coat. He then left, police allege.

Team Cat Rescue has posted a video of the incident. Watch it below, or click here to view on mobile.

Police have released a photo of the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
