The sad owner of a 14-year-old family cat says the individual accountable for covering her precious family pet in bleach is simply “pure evil”.
The lady – who resides in the Orangefield Drive location of Armagh – says she simply sobbed when the veterinarian verified her suspicions that the cat had actually been intentionally covered in bleach.
The cat suffered dreadful injuries of the flesh – a lot more than the owner had actually understood at the time.
Speaking to Armagh I, the lady – who did not wish to be called – has actually pleaded with neighbours in the Orangefield Drive location to inspect any electronic cameras they might have and to come forward to cops with info.
“Hopefully somebody has seen something, or maybe someone has had something similar happen to their pet,” she said.
However, this wasn’t the very first circumstances where her cat has actually been targeted in this style.
She discussed: “Last year, I was away with the caravan taking care of my mum for a week, and my boy was here taking care of the cat. When I got home, I observed her hair was a various colour, like right down her spinal column and she was all like raw and aching down her back.
“This time I was treating her with an antibiotic I have for her here in the house but she didn’t seem to be healing – she was being very, very sick.”
That’s when she took the cat to the veterinarian in Armagh who verified that she had actually been terribly burned with bleach.
“Do you see when the vet shaved its hair? I actually thought she had about seven wounds, but no, she had about 15 to 20 wounds. I just was gobsmacked. I just cried, knowing the state she was in.”
Fortunately, the cat is succeeding with the medication – if a little drowsy at the minute.
“She’s such a placid and friendly wee cat who never, ever ventures too far,” she continued. “She’s part of the family – she’s my wee child woman.
“And the kids around here absolutely love her; she’s more like a wee dog to be honest. To do that to a defenceless little animal, it’s just pure evil.”
While the owner and her kids are “heartbroken” she raised issues over the offender.
“The vet said to me today – if they can do that to an animal they’ll do that to a human.”
Police in Armagh verified they got a report that a cat had actually been “deliberately burned” with bleach on Thursday, February 9 within the area of the Orangefield Drive location.
A representative informed Armagh I that queries are continuing and anybody with any info is asked to get in touch with 101.
