The garbage disposal worker ruched the kitten to the Hillsboro Garbage Disposal where rescuers worked to free the terrified kitten from his trap. Then, the 8-week-old was taken to a veterinarian for further care.
Dr. Diane Healey with the Hillsboro Veterinary Clinic told FOX12, “He looked like something out of a Halloween horror show. It obviously hadn’t been there too terribly long, or he would have suffocated, the head was covered, the face was covered, the legs were stiff, he couldn’t move them.”
As of now, there is no word on who the criminals in this case may be, but the Washington Sheriff’s Office is searching for them.
In the same press release, the police say, “The kitten is recovering at Washington County Animal Services’ Bonnie L. Hays Small Animal Shelter and is expected to make a full recovery.”
We wish this precious animal a speedy recovery! Hopefully, he will be adopted into a loving family and won’t have to through such a terrible ordeal again. Please share to help the police find these criminals!
