Sweet Muffin

Dear All... The sweet-faced, chubby fluffy cat peeking out from under a brown blanket in one photograph, is the same cat that appears on the petition below as a ghastly, putrefying, incredibly heartbreaking, unrecognizable mess :'( That any innocent animal dependent on the compassion of a human being, should not only NOT be shown any compassion, but to be so completely neglected as to have maggots roiling behind his dead left eye--is unspeakably cruel and sadistic; and the person responsible for deliberately letting this beautiful creature rot in agony, must be brought to justice. Over a period of about 6mos, Muffin's 'guardian' was offered help to get treatment for him, which she consistently refused until it was too late, at which time she surrendered him of her own accord. PLEASE SHARE YOUR OUTRAGE BY SIGNING THIS PETITION, AND SHARE WIDELY, PLEASE! The more signatures the better. Many Thanks, on behalf of Muffin♥

Muffin, a neglected cat that the "owner" stated "wasn't so bad"..

We need to have the WOMAN who is known to be prosecuted for her crime. The fact that this poor cat suffered to this degree needlessly for 6 months!! is one of the Worst Intentional cases of abuse to a cat I have heard of EVER maybe the worst in U.S. History .

This is Muffins Story Some rescuers heard about Muffin in August 2011
They knew that Muffin was FIV + and had a leg injury that needed attention for several months. Although several rescue people offered help to the person who had the cat, the woman wouldn't turn the cat over. She did NOTHING.

After 6 LONG MONTHS .the woman" finally" contacted one of the rescuers to report that the side of the cat's face was bleeding, the eye was bulging, maggots were infesting it, and there was huge swelling--she "finally" decided that the cat had to go to the vet so some rescuers took Muffin to an emergency vet.( what was her first clue- the face bleeding or perhaps the maggots?)

The poor cat, named Muffin had a long-infected and oozing injury. He could not eat and the injury went from his outer cheek all the way through to his mouth. The left eye was destroyed, totally non-functioning and it appeared he was blind in the other..The nails on all four of his feet were embedded into the paw pads. He has been this way long enough that his joints were calcified because of how he had to walk. There was swelling of all leg joints.. He was very definitely in pain when he was brought in, and was exhausted to a great degree. He was extremely dehydrated, emaciated and starving.

The fact that his eye. facial injury was left untreated, to fester, cause so much pain, and to deteriorate to the degree that this animal could not eat or drink, is completely neglect and ABUSE poor Muffin succumbed to his injuries and passed away last week.

WE cannot allow the owner to get away with this LONG TERM neglect of an animal under her roof and under her care.

When I think about my kittens and how much food, love and attention they get I always stop to think about those that don't get any! God help them all!!!!!

I'm so sorry your stay here on earth was so horrible. Please know that not all humans are like that> I'm so sorry that the system let you down and didn't save you long before this. Sleep with the angels, at peace at last.

Comment by Teresa Bagley on February 1, 2012 at 10:11am: What the F was wrong with conficating this animal when they saw the neglect first hand instead of offering more assistance that would be refused. The NJ animal control and all others involved really dropped the ball here and in a way were just as bad as the hands inflicting the harm, letting it go on. It should have never been let get to that. I so to often hear it's just an animal...what if someone were to say to them with callous disregard yo a know it's just a kid....have we really come to that as a society? WHY!

Comment by Teresa Bagley on February 1, 2012 at 10:07am: Your in my praryes sweet baby, where ever you are now. If you crossed the rainbow bridge, you'll now and forever only know love, peace happiness & joy. Never again will you know the horrors you suffered from the hands of humans again. So sorry baby, we're all not bad, some of us tirelessly try to save innocent creatures from horrible situation and fates. We can't save every create ure apparently, somehow you fell thru the cracks and for that I am mortified and so very sorry. Till my dying breath I will try to save sweet babies from your pain, now I have just one more reason to work even harder. I will do it for you, every time I rescue a soul, I'll tell the Muffin sent me. I'm sqo sad...
