All three accused have been released on conditions including having no contact with the victim or each other, they are not to consume intoxicating substances, and must not possess or have care of any pets or animal.
Videos sent to a girl overnight Tuesday appeared to show her family's cat drugged and being shaved. There are also suggestions the feline was doused with bleach, and thrown out a window. When the cat, named Gigi turned up she also had the number 666 written in an ear. A vet says Gigi will recover.
RCMP have warned the community against vigilante action.
