Headless Cat Corpse Found Along Whitley Road; Cat Feeder Appeals For Witnesses

Previously, a cat was found dead after allegedly getting mauled by starving stray dogs.

And before we could get over it, another dead cat was found and this time, the scene was even more horrific.

What Happened

On 23 Apr 2020, Facebook user Susan Lee took to the social media platform to appeal for witnesses.

According to her, a feeder who had been taking care of three community cats for years found one of her cat’s bodies without its head.

The uncensored image of the cat’s body can be found on her post but just be warned, it’s extremely graphic.

The incident allegedly happened off Whitley Road.

Her post also included a picture of the cat when it was alive and well.

She says that she will make a police report and is pleading for anybody who has information to come forward.

Cat Killing Is A Crime

Singapore recognises two types of animal abuse:

If it’s a repeat offender, they can be fined up to $30,000, jailed up to 3 years, or both.

Other than jail time and fines, a person can also be banned from owning a pet for up to a year.
