RUBBER BAND AROUND NECK

[WARNING: SENSITIVE IMAGES]

Rubber bands, hair bands, hair ties, strings, ties, etc., can cause cuts in skins of animals when it is too tight. The foreign object can also harbor bacteria and increase the risk for infection in the wound.

Found at a multistory carpark in Tampines, this cat had a rubber band causing a deep strangulating wound around her neck. After taking the band off; surgery was also done to remove infected body tissues and the wound was stitched up to promote healing.

While we are unsure of how kitty got into this unfortunate situation or the intent behind the act, #SPCASingapore would like to use this incident to spread awareness. There is grave danger behind putting a tight object around an animal, as it can cause much pain and discomfort, or even death.

Thankfully, this particular kitty has since healed up well and found her #fureverhome! If you’d like to help other animals like kitty, donate here: http://bit.ly/appeal2021 💙
