When those at the animal shelter saw this kitten, they were appalled: the young cat had obviously suffered abuse. But when tests showed just how much torture she had endured, a desperate manhunt was called to find the culprit who hurt her. Back in March 2016, a family from Utah County found something unexpected on the Spanish Fork River Trail. Specifically, the surprised group had stumbled across a wounded tabby kitten that had clearly been abused. And while concerned for its welfare, the family quickly jumped to the kitten’s rescue.

Back in March 2016, a family from Utah County found something unexpected on the Spanish Fork River Trail. Specifically, the surprised group had stumbled across a wounded tabby kitten that had clearly been abused. And while concerned for its welfare, the family quickly jumped to the kitten’s rescue.
First, they carefully removed the wounded little cat from a thorny rosebush and then carried it two miles to the family car. Then, from the base of the trail, they drove straight to an animal shelter. Unfortunately, they could tell that she was living on borrowed time.
In fact, they took the kitten to the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter, but she would need more care than it could provide. Nevertheless the shelter kept the cat, who was nicknamed Miss Kiss, until she could be transferred to a veterinary hospital. Finally, then, she was sent on her way to Mountain West Animal Hospital.
And Miss Kiss’ veterinarian Dr. Isaac Bott was immediately aware that she bore marks of serious and disturbing abuse. In fact, the kitty suffered from such terrible injuries that it was a surprise that she had survived at all.
[Miss Kiss] came in and there was a blow dart sticking out the right side of her head,” Dr. Bott explained to Fox 13 Salt Lake City in March 2016. An X-ray would be needed to assess the true extent of the damage, and she was duly prepped for further tests. Bott, however, feared the worst.
