Police in the Solano County investigating a horrible case of animal cruelty where two 6-week-old kitties had their little paws bound with rubber bands, probably because the little kittens was used as bait in an illegal dog fight.
One poor kitten unluckily died because of terrible injuries.
The kitties were found abandoned by Solano County Friends of Animals, a local group that rescues animals in the region. They gave them names Will and Grace.
The kitties were brought to a Pet Food Express store in Benicia on Oct. 13 by a kind lady who said the kitties were planned to be used at bait. The kitties little paws were strongly bound to stop them from scratching the dogs eyes.
The lady seemingly brought the poor kitties to a vet, but didn’t have enough money for medical care. After that she took the kittens to Pet Food Express and the manager took care of them. He is a volunteer with Solano County Friends of Animals.
The woman told how she found the kitties, and then left the store.
They got immediate medical care at a Vallejo vet clinic and were in good condition after their rescue, but both kittens have injuries from the rubber bands. Unfortunately , Grace had to be euthanized after gangrene that had begun in her feet and spread up to her entire body.
Waderich said he never saw this kind of cruelly the. The kitties feet were very swollen. She said they will try everything to find the abusers.
Solano County Animal Control Division is investigating the animal cruelty and are trying to find the woman who left the kitties and to discover any illegal dog fighting in the region.
Solano County Friends of Animals also is looking for donations to help pay for Will’s treatment and care. To make a donation, go to the group’s Go Fund Me page, or mail contributions to P.O. Box 235, Benicia, 94510.
UPDATE:
Donations reach its $2,500 goal. The kitten is very friendly and just love humans and cuddling. Luckily will is doing well.
