Open wounds
The cat appeared to have suffered from fresh open wounds after struggling to free itself from the glue trap.

SPCA stated that it managed to clean and shave the cat's glue-stricken fur.


Fully healed
The cat has fully healed, according to SPCA, although there are some bald fur spots on its body.

SPCA added:
"The SPCA has long advocated against the use of glue traps due to the harm caused as well as the inadvertent trapping of non-target species.
We have rescued many animals from glue traps, and it is a painstaking process to remove the glue from the animals, and not all survive."
