An innocent cat was left covered in burns, wounds full of maggots and signs she had been sexually abused in a case the RSPCA has described as unprecedented.
The nine-month-old tortoiseshell was found with burns covering her body and maggots crawling inside her wounds in Woking, reports Surrey Live.
The cat, named Minnie because of her small size, was discovered on Sunday and is now being cared for by vets who reported her condition to the RSPCA.
Luckily though, it is thought the “little fighter” will make a recovery. The RSPCA has launched an appeal to catch the sick person or people responsible for the abuse.
Liz Wood, of the RSPCA in Woking, said: “It appears she may have been severely abused and she has a number of wounds full of maggots.
“The vets believe these may have originally been burns as she had candle wax all over her tail. She also shows signs of having been sexually abused - it is absolutely awful.
“Minnie had a makeshift splint on one of her front legs and is currently not able to stand on her back legs so we think she has some soft tissue and nerve damage as her x-rays are clear of any fractures.
“She isn’t in the clear yet but we are hoping she will make a recovery as she is very bright and a little fighter.
“We have never seen a cat so abused before and it is heartbreaking that this has happened to her.”
Anyone with information should contact the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.
