I am speechless,how any person can do this to such a sweet animal is beyond belief!! Sorry to be blunt but I am so :mad: angry right now!!

Also sorry to post this but I feel that this needs to be reported so readers in the area are aware of it.ASSISI is where I got Daisy from.

Today, staff at Assisi Animal Sanctuary in Conlig, Co Down were shocked by
the level of abuse sustained by a 3 month old kitten. Information is
limited as to where the kitten came from only that it was rescued by a
couple travelling to Belfast from the west of the Province.

They noticed the kitten on the roadside and decided to bring it to the sanctuary in
Conlig, Co Down. Assisi is an independent charity recognised for its work
in saving the lives of companion animals throughout Northern Ireland.

Sanctuary Manager Heather Oliver said “The 12 week old kitten was
initially thought to have been hit by a car, veterinary inspection
revealed it had been the victim of deliberate sexual abuse. The kitten now named Kim has
undergone surgery to begin to repair the damage. She has suffered
extensive tearing of soft tissue, multiple pelvic fractures and hip damage
which will need surgery at a later date”. Heather visited her last night and she
was eating and drinking, she is still very unsteady on her back legs. “She
will receive the best possible care to enable her recovery. We are all
devastated that this has happened, and can’t comprehend who would inflict
this act on a baby kitten”.

“Unfortunately we see neglect on a weekly basis and occasional cases of
deliberate abuse, but not many. This has shocked us all to stunned
silence. Sexually assaulting an animal is very frightening and shocking
event to be associated with any society”.

X-Ray provided shows Kim’s injuries, multiple fractures – very sad

    Oh, that is terrible and shocking.

    How can people be so sick?

    Poor little kitty, I hope she finds a home she deserves, what a beautiful cat.

    ASSISI has said on their facebook page that the poor mite will need a few operations to her pelvis,but she is bright & cheerful & has won over the staff.

    Very much with you on that! :mad: :(
  • I just read this and actually find this really disturbing. Sometimes I wonder whether these sickos live in the same world as I do. Never in a million trillion years could I ever harm an animal deliberately let alone even think to do anything as discusting and sick as this. I find this quite frightning that there are people out there who actually get kicks out of things like this. I feel stunned.

    According to a good friend of mine it already is a criminal offence with a significant penalty under the sexual offences act 2003.
    So if the scum is caught,they'll end up classed alongside peado's & other nonces & be on the sex offenders register.

    So they should be - as they're just as bad. What angers me is that they wouldn't spend anything like the time inside that they deserve :mad:
