A kitten found injured and wandering on a building site had been intentionally scalded with boiling water, RSPCA inspectors believe. And the charity said the black cat had probably been beaten and tortured over a long period.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the eight-month-old animal was found with various burns across his body and a head injury on the building site in Oldham. Named 'Binx' after the black cat in the Disney movie Hocus Pocus, he is now recovering and remains in the care of the charity.
In a statement, the RSPCA said: "After a couple of days of trying some workmen managed to safely capture the injured cat and took him to the Bury, Oldham and district branch of the RSPCA on Tuesday, October 11. The black feline had an obvious injury to his face and eye and burns on his body so was taken by RSPCA inspector Jess Pierce to the charity's Greater Manchester Animal Hospital for veterinary treatment."
