After the death of a neighborhood cat in Punggol, the National Parks Board ( NPS) is looking into a case of suspected animal cruelty.
The kitten was discovered unconscious in a parking lot close to Block 326B Sumang Walk. The case was described as “one of the most harsh” it had ever encountered, according to Animal Welfare Group Luni Singapore.
This is the second alleged rabbit abuse incident to occur in a month after another animal was discovered dead in Yishun with signs of abuse.
“NParks has received comments about a cat that was found deceased at Yishun Street 51 and a cat that was injured in a car park close to Block 326B Sumang Walk,” according to NParks. We are looking into both cases, the organization stated on Wednesday ( May 14 ) in response to CNA’s inquiries.
The Punggol area cat, according to Luni Singapore, was a female cat known as Papa Cat and named Shere Khan.
It was registered with Luni Singapore and was discovered to be seriously hurt “likely on May 11 or 12,” according to the organization’s Instagram post. The dog welfare group was later contacted after an unknown individual brought the injured cat to the veterinarian.
Shere Khan did not survive despite receiving quick animal care. According to Luni Singapore, his injuries are likely to result in suffocation or blunt force trauma, which is highly suggested by his intentional abuse.  ,
We are determined to find out what happened because this is one of the most terrible circumstances we have seen.
Ms. Nina Astolfi, the group’s creator, told CNA on Wednesday that the organization had never received any leads and that the Cat Welfare Society was working with area caregivers and feeders to carry door-to-door outreach.  ,
The cat had bilateral proptosis ( both eye globes protruding significantly from their sockets ), swelling and lacerations of the tongue, superficial bruising on the right side of the face, a top-of-the-head lesion, and frayed nails on all four paws, according to Ms Astolfi.  ,
She continued, adding that the rabbit was likewise hypothermic and dehydrated when she arrived at the veterinarian.
Ms. Astolfi claimed that the team claimed to have covered emergency medical expenses with support from group gifts, which totaled about S$ 260.
