A Regina animal rescue agency says it has discovered six cats, mauled to death by a dog in the city's Core community.
The dead animals were part of a feral cat colony, according to People for Animals.
The first deaths were noted in November. More dead cats were discovered as recently as last week.
Alanna Whippler, a spokeswoman for the group, said members are concerned that the violence could escalate.
"It's entirely possible that a dog that is regularly attacking and killing cats will move on to attacking other animals, other dogs, and potentially people," Whippler said.
She is advising residents of the neighbourhood to be vigilant and report any sightings of at-large dogs.
People for Animals works to help street cats, in part by providing feral colonies with regular access to food, water and shelter.
The animal deaths have been reported to police and the Regina Humane Society.
