Cat and kittens bound, left in plastic bag
Brooklawn, NJ (US)

Incident Date: Wednesday, Dec 26, 2007
County: Camden

Disposition: Open

Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!

A family of kittens is found tied up and left to die inside a trash dumpster in Camden County.

On the day after Christmas, a man from Brooklawn heard cries from a mother cat and her three kittens. When he looked inside the dumpster, he found the cats' heads and legs hog-tied with twine and knotted in a plastic bag.

A pet rescue group is trying to find a home for the cats and is asking for donations to cover veterinary expenses.

"Each animal, including the mom, will be spayed and neutered and there's a series of vaccinations they'll have to get," said Jennifer Smith of Furrever Friends. "Then they'll be ready for adoption."
