Londonderry, New Hampshire – A 60-year-old man was arrested and is facing animal cruelty charges following the discovery of five dead cats and two living cats in his Londonderry condominium. According to the Londonderry Police, Robert Gerhold, of 7 Holly Lane, was arrested on March 13 following a months-long investigation into animal cruelty allegations.
In a news release, the authorities said:
In August 2023, Officer Reitze responded to a group of attached condominiums on Holly Lane for a neighborhood dispute. It was learned that Gerhold’s neighbors reported their condominiums were infested with fleas and could smell the strong odor of cat urine in their basements.
Officer Reitze was able to obtain a search warrant after learning that Gerhold had active bail conditions preventing him from possessing any animals from another animal cruelty case.
Officers who searched Gerhold’s residence found five dead cats in a container in his basement and two flea-infested cats who were still alive. The surviving cats were taken to the Manchester Animal Shelter for care.
Gerhold is charged with seven counts of animal cruelty and seven counts of breach of bail. He was arraigned at the Derry District Court

Animal abusers should be exterminated with extreme prejudice.
Treat these animal “scum abusers” with the exact kindness they treat these innocent defenseless creatures of God…NONE! NO MERCY…”eye for an eye.”
Where do we sign to have this person charged for animal cruelty.
How about some street justice?
You are so right Allison. If only the judicial system would punish the vile act without consideration to what creature suffered and died. We all suffer and die the same way! Gerhold: Five life sentences … or better: Spare the taxpayer — death.
Yes, it’s”let’s rate the victim” to determine the justice, instead of “rate the sadistic scumbag.” Unfortunately, people like Robert are “needed” in vivisection labs and slaughterhouses, etc., so people have a real conflict of interest in dealing effectively with animal abusers.
crimes to animals ARE getting more horrific, and the abusers ARE walking free if ever hunted down..Why have thesr people for animals if no-one are helping them , and hunting down the callous abusers ?
THE ONLY MATCHING JUSTICE FOR INNOCENT ANIMALS FROM HUMAN ANIMALS THAT TORTURE THEM AND SOMEHOW THINK THEY ARE NOT ANIMALS! GO BACK TO SCHOOL USELESS WASTES OF AIR.
Looks like that whole prohibiting animal abusers from possessing more is utterly ineffective.
Agree with Allison- have been expressing that same sentiment for years – I wish the legal system would allow the “people” to deal with these assholes and let them feel real justice instead of the usual slap on the wrist and fine these people get which allows them to go out and do the same thing again. Animal cruelty is not taken seriously enough in most jurisdictions and the animals suffer for that tepid approach.
Looks like he was seriously neglecting, abusing, and letting cats be eaten alive by fleas and die slowly (torture), for jollies. His address is provided. Perhaps some serious cat lovers will pay him a nice visit because he surely won’t get appropriate justice from the legal system.
Put this ass hole in his ” Londonery” basement and seal the door off so he can’t escape!!
This human filth would be a perfect candidate for organ harvesting. Make his life valuable in his death.
13 months to investigate!!!! Break down his fuckin door and get to work!! Put this fat thing Away!! Tired of seeing all this abuse!! Make them accountable!!😢😢
I would not want an organ from this sick SOB!
Just burn his body till there is nothing but ash.
They should not be spending our taxpayers money keeping him alive, NO!. Simply torture them then burn them alive.. that’s all they deserve. There has to be justice for the animals. This piece of crap needs to suffer. I don’t care if he’s mentally ill… Justice has to be served..
ZERO MERCY. MAXIMUM SENTENCE.
A convicted animal abuser has five dead cats in his basement and two flea infested one still living… He should be jailed and pay huge fines. Post his picture at the post office& in the local paper as the scumbag animal abuser. He doesn’t deserve any mercy put him away New Hampshire.!!
A bullet right between his eyes should fix this nasty looking parasite
