Officers traced a storage site at a vehicle depot in Tay Ninh Province, where suspects allegedly held cats in 45 cages before selling them to buyers for around 70,000 Vietnamese dong — roughly $2.60 — per kilogram, with transactions occurring every two to three days.

The suspects admitted to trapping and collecting cats across Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh and An Giang over three years. With more than 500 cats seized in total, local media described it as one of Vietnam's largest cat welfare cases in recent years.

At least 40 of the recovered cats were reunited with their owners, while around 100 others died as a result of their ordeal. Several pregnant cats were among those rescued, and kittens were born overnight in police custody.

Humane World for Animals estimates that around five million dogs and one million cats are stolen and slaughtered for meat in Vietnam annually. A 2023 survey it commissioned found growing public opposition to the trade, particularly among younger people and pet owners.
