Mother Cat, Kittens Zip Tied Together All Four Kittens Die

WHITE COUNTY, Ga. — A property owner heard the cries of a mother cat last week and went to investigate. What she discovered must have been horrifying. It was an adult cat zip tied to her four kittens and discarded into a stand of Kudzu.

One of the kittens was already dead and, although the cat and her three remaining kittens were rushed to Cleveland Veterinarian Hospital, all but the mother cat died within the next 24 hours.

The incident took place on Hwy. 255 South in White County and White County Public Safety Director David Murphy said, “I haven’t been working with animal control very long, but this is the worst case of animal abuse that I have seen.”

Murphy said he believes someone drove by and attempted to throw the cats into a nearby creek but missed and threw them into the Kudzu instead.

The White County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.

The cat was picked up from Cleveland Veterinary Hospital and later transferred to Angels Among Us Rescue for Special Needs.
