Summary
$25,000 bonds were set for Brett Anthony Bellera, 25, and Jennifer Armenti, 36, after Florida prosecutors charged both with aggravated animal cruelty in the death of their cat, Reaper.
A forensic necropsy found the brown-and-white tabby died from extreme heat exposure, with investigators citing possible microwave radiation, extremely hot water or hot-water vapor.
Court affidavits say the injuries were not immediately fatal, indicating Reaper suffered severe pain before dying; both defendants pleaded not guilty and remain under electronic monitoring or house arrest.
The case began after a friend alerted Broward County Animal Care in December 2024, and Bellera was arrested in June 2026; he is the eldest son of Amy Fisher, the 1992 'Long Island Lolita' shooter.
