Police are looking for a suspect who burglarized a hotel room in Shelton and walked away with a cat and several other stolen items. 

The burglary happened on Sunday, Jan. 22 at an unspecified hotel in Shelton when an unknown suspect was able to enter a room without forcing entry, according to Shelton Police. 

The suspect was able to make off with a Fendi and Gucci bag, as well as the victim's hairless cat, Princess. Ultimately, the value of the stolen items is estimated to be more than $8,500.
