Earlier this month, a worker of the sanitation department working in Oregon was rummaging through the trash can to empty it out when he heard something concerning.
From deep inside the trash can, he heard the noise of an animal that seemed to be in distress.
The worker inspected the trash can closely and found that someone cruel had sprayed a cat with hardening foam and left it there to die.
A staff member of the Hillsboro Veterinary Clinic named Diane Healey said to media, “He looked something that was straight out of a horror movie. Fortunately for the cat, he had not been there for far too long, otherwise he would have suffocated. His head, face, and legs were all covered with foam and were stiff. He could not move any of his body parts.”
The kitten was, however, soon freed up from this foamy situation.
The Washington County’s Sheriff Department released a statement, “the driver of the sanitation truck took the cat back to the Hillsboro Garbage Disposal facility. There, other workers helped him to remove the foam from the cat and took it to a local vet. The cat is assumed to be of 8 weeks old.”
Officials said that the cat seemed to be a feral one which had been born in the multi-unit residence nearby and that is why he was found near the bin. Currently, officials are seeking out the help of the people of the area to seek out the person who was responsible for this horrific act of animal cruelty.
As for the rescued kitten, he is now safe despite going through such an act of cruelty done against him.
Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter spokesperson said that the cat is being taken care of and his prognosis is good. He said, “The cat is expected to undergo full recovery soon.”
