LAKEWOOD - A 4-month-old male kitten is recovering after suffering abuse and burns, according to the shelter that rescued him.
The kitten suffered burns to his whiskers and tips of his ears, and showed signs of injuries from being swung by his tail before he was brought into the Cat Care Society, a feline shelter and veterinary clinic, in Lakewood on Friday. They say the kitten underwent five hours of treatment when it arrived at the shelter.
The kitten went home with one of the clinic's veterinary technicians for the weekend and will be under observation for another week. The shelter hopes that the kitten will recover quickly and be available for adoption soon.
The individuals who left the kitten at the center refused to leave their contact information or give information on who abused the animal.
The Cat Care Society is looking for any information that will help in identifying the abusers. Their contact information and more information about pet adoption can be found at http://www.catcaresociety.org/
