Take them to animal control and tell them what happened. Plus they are neglected so I doubt the owners will get them back.

You need to call your local police department or animal control officer.

I know about living in the boonies but even the boonies usually have an animal control officer or some kind of animal shelter. A local vet might be able to give you the proper people to call.

My county doesn't. The sheriff's department only deals with animals if they're dangerous and then they just shoot them. We don't even have a vet in the county. I guess some boonies are "boonier" than others!

If there is no "law" to help deal with the situation. Take pictures of the dead cat and whatever other damages were done, then shoot the dogs. You'll have proof of the destruction and most places will consider that protecting your property and livestock. If you can't bring yourself to do that, (I know I couldn't!!) take them to the nearest shelter, even if it's an hour away. It's likely the neighbors won't go get them.

I know what you are going through. My neighbors don't keep thier dogs up either, and seem to think dogs have the right to do as they please. We do have a shelter in the county, but is is always full, and they do not enforce the county leash laws outside of city limits.

We have to travel an hour to get to the nearest shelter and the dog warden is 4 hours away....good luck with the dog problem, it sure is a tough problem to deal with.
