A sanitation worker in Oregon was emptying a container into his vehicle earlier this month when something alarming grabbed his ear.
The anguished sounds of an animal in agony sounded from deep within the container.
When the worker looked deeper, he saw a defenseless tiny kitten who had been sprayed with hardened foam and left to die.
Diane Healey of the Hillsboro Veterinary Clinic told FOX 12 News, “He looked like something out of a Halloween horror show.” “It couldn’t have been there for very long, or he would have suffocated. He couldn’t move his legs since his head, face, and legs were all covered.”
Thankfully, the cat was soon free of the foam that had encased him.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the motorist returned the garbage can to the Hillsboro Garbage Disposal facility, “where shop workers worked together to extricate the 8-week-old male kitten from the spray foam and transfer it to a local veterinarian for care.”
The kitten was most likely born to a wild cat that lived near the multi-unit property where the trash was placed, according to officials. They’re asking for the public’s aid in locating the perpetrator of this heinous act of animal cruelty.
Despite what had been done to him, the recovered kitten is now secure and well.
