Kitten was “disposed of” alive

Heartless act in the Waldviertel town of Zwettl! A stranger dumped a cute kitten in a container. Despite quick help from a vet, the velvet paw did not survive and had to be euthanized. The police are now looking for the perpetrator.

A terrible case of animal cruelty took place on Tuesday between midnight and 9.15 a.m. in the Waldviertel district town of Zwettl. Unknown persons disposed of an approximately four to six-month-old kitten in an animal carcass container in Schwarzenauer Straße.

Velvet paw was infested with maggots
It was found alive and quickly taken to the vet in Gföhl. The vet administered an infusion to the young velvet paw, to which the animal, which was massively infested with maggots and suffering from severe pain, no longer responded and was euthanized. 

The Zwettl police inspectorate is appealing for information.
