CRUEL ACT: This cat was found hanging from a railing. SPCA is appealing for witnesses.
THE Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is appealing for witnesses who might have seen the culprits who hanged a cat with a blue nylon string.
Residents at Block 245, Simei Street 5 called the police after they saw the dead cat hanging from the staircase railing between the sixth and seventh floor.
The incident happened on Dec 29, and it was the second time in a week that a cat had been tortured.
On Christmas Eve, a cat was found bleeding from the mouth and nose on the second floor of Block 171, Yishun Ring Road.
The SPCA was informed and the injured cat was taken to a veterinarian to be put to sleep. Said the SPCA's executive officer, Ms Deirdre Moss: 'It was in extreme pain and suffering from respiratory distress.'
The SPCA is appealing for witnesses and is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for harming the cats.
Anyone with information can call the SPCA at 6287-5355 during office hours.
