The town I live in is fairly large and if the animal is in a bad way they put them down in the truck after they grab them. As I said earlier the animal groups do pour money into them but they usually go under after awhile. |

Am I legally responsible for paying the emergency vet bills, even though it was a stray cat? | There are two elements to this situation.
1 - Was the dog under the control of the owner? The answer to this question is clearly NO.
2 - The neighbor claimed the cat as theirs and is claiming the cat as theirs.
The OP should pay the bill.

It is worth pointing out that no matter who owns the cat, the dog has still proven itself a danger to the community.

If your dog has a taste for blood, you need to be especially careful to keep it confined.

Cat crap *IS* dangerous to the community |

An animal that attacks and tries to kill another domestic animal is considered to be a threat to the community.
