Tortured cat crawls to safety after being burned in hot oven

KENOSHA (WITI) -- It's a case of animal cruelty as a cat came crawling for help after all four of its paws had been severely burned. Kenosha Forgotten Friends was contacted on Wednesday, April 15th, by a local homeless shelter about the hurt cat.

Kenosha Forgotten Friends picked up the injured cat and brought him to Kenosha Animal Hospital where he was treated.

The doctor who treated him says the skin on his feet was sloughing off and blackened -- most likely from a chemical burn. He also had a temperature of 105°.

After contacting local authorities, it was determined that the cat, now named, "Little Arrow," apparently scratched someone. Staff at Kenosha Forgotten Friends believe the person became angry and to retaliate, placed the cat in the hot oven.



Arrow's burns were treated, cleaned and bandaged. He is now resting comfortably and safe while recovering. He was also neutered.

No charges have been filed as of yet but the investigation is ongoing.
