Geez...Rename This Poor Cat Already!

A fierce little feline is an unquestionable survivor, after falling victim to a petty, heartless prank. A female cat, who is between 9 months and one year old, was found helplessly abandoned, wrapped from neck to paws in duct tape in North Philadelphia, PA on September 22, 2009.

She was treated by the Pennsylvania SPCA who named the cat, "Sticky". After removing the outer shell of duct tape, the staff was shocked to find that not only had the abuser wrapped Sticky's body numerous times, they also started to wrap her two front legs and back legs together. Based on the amount of tape recovered, Messer estimates an entire roll of duct tape was used in this crime. The domestic short-haired cat was sedated as Messer and her team removed the tape as carefully as possible so that they could preserve and use it as evidence.

Thankfully, despite the pressure and restraints that kept Sticky captive, and being slightly underweight, no other permanent damage was done. Estimating she had been bound for just a few days, Sticky immediately returned to her calm, caring and peaceful personality once she was mobile again.

Sticky has already received several offers for adoption, but will remain with the PSPCA until the investigation to find her abusers is officially closed. The original $1,000 reward offered for information leading to the conviction of those involved jumped quickly up to $2,000 with additional donations from the public.
