>Taken from The Province (Vancouver, BC) - Wednesday, August 14, 1996

By Jason Proctor - Staff Reporter

The cat was in a dumpster, its head entirely wrapped in sticky-tape.

It took a veterinarian to get the tape off, a process almost as painful
anyone watching as it was for the helpless cat.

Yesterday, SPCA worker Eileen Drever found herself looking at the remains of
a heartless, pointless crime - an almost perfect model of the cat's head
formed out tape - and wondering out loud what kind of person could do such a
thing to a defenceless animal.

"It's disgusting," she said. "The cat's head was totally engulfed in Scotch
tape. It's amazing what animals have to go through."

The cat's ears still appear to be amarting from the tape.

A woman found the cat Monday afternoon in a dumpster at Scott Road & 82nd
Avenue (in Surrey, BC).

Drever said the thin, light-colored, grey-and-orange cat has had kittens
before and appears to be pregnant.

The Surrey SPCA is asking the public to help them find the culprit.

"It's awful," said Drever. "It doesn't cost anything to leave an animal at
an animal shelter."

Please call the Surrey SPCA at (604) 597-5655 if you can help.
