Shelter: Cat Found With Feet Tied Together

The animal is expected to recover

A local animal shelter is looking for the owner of a cat found with its front feet bound together.

The Westfield Regional Animal Shelter in Westfield, Massachusetts, said two men were fishing on the Westfield River on Tuesday when they heard a cat meowing. They went to investigate, and found a cat whose two front feet had been intentionally tied together. The cat was only able to move by using its back feet.

The two men rushed the cat to the Westfield shelter, and a veterinarian was able to free it and provide emergency medical care.

Shelter workers said they aren't sure if the owner or someone else tied the cat's feet together. Anyone who recognizes the cat is urged to call the animal shelter at 413-564-3129.
