Cat Burnt Beyond Recognition - RSPCA & Police Appeal for Information

An 18-month-old domestic longhair cat suffering severe burns to his whole body is currently under care at the RSPCA Sydney Veterinary Hospital. Snowy was discovered at 4am this morning, Saturday 3 July, by his Bankstown owners who took him to the RSPCA.

“Normally Snowy is inside his house by 10pm but last night he didn’t return until 4am. His owners found him in a severely burnt state, with his ears cut and evidence of tape on his back legs,” said Inspector Skye Adams. “His whole body has been severely affected by burns.”

This is a severe act of animal cruelty and the person/s responsible for such an act can be charged with serious animal cruelty (s.530 Crimes Act), leading to five years in prison.

The RSPCA and NSW Police are appealing to anyone with information which may assist this investigation. Please contact the RSPCA on 02 9770 7555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

If only they'd kept him inside.

The kindest thing for that cat would be PTS, particularly if he is burnt over his entire body.

They will be able to provide the evidence they need if they do locate those responsible from the photos and vet reports they already have. No need to make the poor thing suffer so they can parade him in front of a court and tell them how much it cost to nurse him back to health.

Just saw this cat on the news and he has been shaved, he didn't look like his skin had been burnt, though one of his ears looked like it was almost cut all the way thru and he has cuts on his face..

I agree. Hell would freeze over before I would let my cats roam. You just cannot trust people and we have had incidents of local kids maiming wildlife :D

That was my first thought, too.

The poor cat was in so much pain. His ear was almost sliced off and he had slices on his face. They think he was taped down to something and set alight. He tried to make it back home. I had tears watching the poor little thing just sitting there in the cage so doped up his head was just hanging.

As for the culprits..................... I dont need a warning....
