PA Cruelty to Cats Continues: Kitten Burned

As Sticky the cat settles in to her forever home, the PA SPCA finds another case of cruelty. This time a kitten doused with lighter fluid and lit on fire. The kitten has superficial  burns on over half her body, she has 3rd degree burns on her right ear. Even her whiskers have been intentionally burned off. 


She is now getting the help she needs and is recovering.  The SPCA is hoping a new family is in her future and they don't want to wait too long before placing her, since she is still showing signs of being affectionate in spite of the horrific abuse she has suffered.

The kitten was found around 5:30 Saturday evening, in Chester, PA and there apparently is a suspect in custody already. This is the 3rd case of animal cruelty, PA SPCA has had in 2 weeks. 


On Monday,  Port Richmond school bus driver, Bill Mitchell threw a bag that contained 3 kittens off the back of a school bus. It was at a stop and a witness heard a thunk and went out to investigate.  She found the bag with three kittens. She put the kittens in a box with a blanket and she called the Police. The PA SPCA said the kittens are under nourished and had a bad case of fleas but are expected to be ready for adoption soon.

The school bus driver has been with the the school district for 4 years and has had no other complaints. He was issued 3 citations that are fines of $750.00 each.
