Tiny kitten left for dead in bag

A tiny kitten was left for dead in a carrier bag outside a Worcester supermarket.

The seven-week-old female cat had been abandoned in shopping trolley outside Sainsbury’s, in Blackpole Road, Worcester, on Thursday, July 17.

Severely dehydrated, suffering from diarrhoea and worms, she was found by a member of the public. It is the second time this month defenceless animals have been dumped in Worcester.

City RSPCA inspector Neil Tysall, who is investigating the criminal offence, is appealing for information.

“I cannot believe how anyone could do something so heartless,” said Mr Tysall.

“The person dumped this kitten leaving it to die. They have committed a criminal offence and that is why I am urging anyone with information to please come forward and help me with my enquiries. There is never any excuse to abandon an animal. There are plenty of animal welfare organisations and vets that can be contacted for help and advice.”

Earlier this month your Worcester News reported how two kittens were found in a bin bag in Langdale Park, near Windermere Drive, in Warndon. The cats survived and are now in RSPCA care.

The female kitten dumped outside Sainsbury’s is now on antibiotics and eating well.

Anyone with information on either case should call the RSPCA National Cruelty And Advice Line on 0300 1234999.

I have absolutely no time at all for anybody who is cruel to animals!

Many are brighter than the average human being!

They share our world and give us immense pleasure.

WHY WHY WHY are people so STUPID that they take an unwanted kitten and dump it outside a supermarket rather than make a tiny effort and call the RSPCA!

They don't deserve the air they breathe!

PaulMeUnder asks why people dump a kitten outside the supermarket instead of calling the RSPCA.

Perhaps it is because according to their own figures 50% of all living things coming into RSPCA 'care' die there? So people think there is more chance of the animal getting a home if members of the public find it?

What is wrong with people??? Has anyone offered this kitten a home? She can come live with us if not.
