The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) are investigating an incident in which a cat was found in Fernvale Link with a severed leg.
The incident, which occurred on December 12, gained widespread attention after freelance cat rescuer Fiona Loh posted photos of the cat on Instagram.
She shared that SPCA had informed her about the cat after receiving comments that it was bleeding.
“When I was at the cattery, I got an adopter of mine who lives nearby to help control the cat first while we hurry,” he wrote.
“The cat was not found. Apparently the cat had passed away and the cleaners had kept the body.
“The cleaners showed some photos to my adopter. The cat’s left hind limb was cut off and found some distance from the cat’s carcass.
“The cleaners also took the bloody scene.”
Fiona added that the cat was a tabby with a bobtail and had a pointed ear. However, the cat did not have a microchip.
Fiona also mentioned in her post that her amputated limb was a clean cut, leading her to believe that a sharp knife was used.
“I tried looking for any suspicious weapons. I even looked in the garbage bins, but to no avail,” Fiona said.
“However, while I was waiting for SPCA and the police to arrive, I noticed some blood stains on the riser door, right next to where the body was first discovered.
“I opened it and found a knife in the riser.”
Fiona also found another cat on a nearby staircase and named it KittyWakandah.
She intends to rehouse the cat and is looking to raise funds for vet bills and room expenses.
She shared her disgust for what they did to the cat and wrote, “Seriously, if you don’t like cats, go away, don’t hurt them.
“What kind of human would really do this? I wince when I think of what you would do to humans that you don’t like.”
In response to a query from Stomp, SPCA Executive Director Dr. Jaipal Singh Gill said: “We were alerted to the case on the night of December 12 and dispatched an officer. It was distressing to find the cat in that state. “.
“The investigations are currently ongoing and we are requesting that anyone with information about the case contact us at 6287 5355 (ext. 9) or email us at [email protected]. The information provided will be processed with the strictest confidentiality “.
Dr. Gill added that SPCA has presented and distributed informational brochures on the property and has spoken with some residents.
“The Cat Welfare Society (CWS) is also helping. The authorities are also investigating,” he said.
“We thank everyone who has participated in trying to resolve this case and prevent something like this from happening again.”
Ms. Jessica Kwok, Director of the Community Animal Management Group at AVS, a group from the National Parks Board (NParks), also said: “We have been alerted and we are concerned to learn of the case. We take all feedback received from the public on animal cruelty seriously, and will examine the reported cases. “
Ms. Kwok added that the investigations are ongoing and reminded the public not to speculate on the details of this case and allow the investigations to run their proper course.
“If members of the public have information they want to share about the case, they can do so via the online comment form on our website or by calling us at 1800-476-1600,” said Ms. Kwok.
“Information shared with AVS will be kept strictly confidential.”
