According to the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, 22-year-old Zachary Rollins was arrested Saturday following a report of a domestic incident at a home in Somerset.

Deputies say they were told Rollins allegedly bit the cat’s ears off.

Investigators say they were shown photos and video evidence of the incident, along with messages from Rollins. In one message to a family member, Rollins allegedly claimed he bit the cat because it had bitten him first.

Rollins was taken into custody and charged with torture of a dog or cat, a felony under Kentucky law.

Bunny the cat was taken to Sheabel Veterinary Hospital in Lexington, where they learned of other injuries the cat had received.

“She had two broken legs, and her ears had teeth marks on them. Pretty nasty and infected. She was pregnant. Recently, I’d say, in the last week or so,” said Dr. Michelle Jude, Sheabel Veterinary Hospital.

The citation states that officers responded to a residence on Skyview Drive for a "reported domestic dispute in progress." While en route, the officer notes being made aware that "the caller's boyfriend was intoxicated and had bit the caller's cat's ears off."

According to the citation, when the officer arrived on the scene, the suspect, identified by police as Zachary Rollins, was "laying in bed attempting to hide under blankets on the bed."

The officer, according to an arrest citation, then asked Rollins to step outside and speak with him, but Rollins reportedly refused. As a result, the officer says he detained Rollins and took him outside.

The citation notes that the caller then showed the officer pictures of the injured cat as well as "Facebook messages from Rollins to his mother stating he had bit a cat's ear off because it had bit him first."

According to the citation, the officer then spoke to Rollins, who admitted to sending messages to a family member and stated that "he had not bit the cat, but he had tossed it when it bit him."

Rollins was arrested and charged with torture of a dog or cat.

According to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, after Rollins' arrest, a warrant was filed for a separate incident involving the death of two other cats in April 2025. As a result, Rollins was charged with two additional counts of torture of a dog or cat.

The cat will not be returned to Rollin's girlfriend or him.

Pointing to x-rays, Dr. Jude explained that the cat’s front legs were broken, and she suspects the injuries are due to the cat being thrown. Jude had just put a splint on one leg, and tomorrow, the other leg will need a pin inserted.

“She’s just one of the sweetest cats in the world, and it's unfortunate that somebody mistreated her,” said Jude.

The veterinarian told LEX 18 that she plans to watch the case against Rollins play out. With the 2024 passage of Ethan’s Law, Rollins faces felony charges.

As for the cat, affectionately named “Bunny” for her now unique ears, she’ll be returned to Hope for All Pets, Inc. (HAPI) once she's in better health.

I hope Mike Tyson gets a hold of this guy. If I had a dollar for every time my cats nipped me I’d be rich. And they’re still here!

I am just glad the girlfriend will not be getting her cat back.

It does not appear that she has any children which is blessing.

Hopefully she does not get pregnant by this turd.

That's not what's meant by eating pussy, twisted-face freak.

I know shes probably sedated and on pain meds, but that picture breaks my heart, she looks so pitiful.

And that fucker did more than toss her to cause those injuries to her forearms.

I will gladly take Bunny.
