Likely fell from height: SPCA

The executive director of SPCA Aarthi Sankar told Mothership that SPCA was alerted to the case at 10am on Sep. 2.

The rescue officer managed to speak with the pet owner who collected the late cat’s body.

The owner was crying profusely, SPCA said.

"The owner had noticed her cat missing from home, went out in search of the cat, and was directed by someone to the location where she found her cat motionless amidst bloodstains," SPCA added. "Following the discovery, she brought the cat’s body home."

SPCA also said the cat's wounds "appeared consistent with other high rise syndrome cases".

SPCA encouraged witnesses to call their 24/7 hotline (6287 5355) or email [email protected].
