A community cat in Ang Mo Kio was found dead on Sunday (June 7), according to a post on Facebook group Sayang Our Singapore’s Community Cats by user Wawa Wahia that afternoon.<\/p>\n
The cat, named Johnny, was apparently found at the foot of a HDB block along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 before it was moved to the void deck.<\/p>\n
In a photograph accompanying her post, Johnny can be seen lying lifeless on a sheet of newspaper.<\/p>\n
Wahia also stated in her post that Johnny was first seen motionless on a grass patch before being moved to the void deck, adding that she suspects the cat had been thrown from a kitchen window.<\/p>\n
“Johnny likes to roam upstairs [and] comes and goes to several units,” she said.<\/p>\n
Wahia also claimed in comments under her post that Ang Mo Kio Town Council is aware of the incident and is investigating.<\/p>\n
A photograph of a circular by the Society for the Prevention of Cat Cruelty (SPCC) was also uploaded to the group by user Daniel Hua, who shared that the non-profit is appealing for witnesses.<\/p>\n
“Johnny was a sweet, loving community cat that everyone in the neighbourhood loves and cares for very much,” Hua said. “All of us are gutted by what has happened to him.”<\/p>\n
In comments, many users were similarly upset, calling for action to be taken against whoever was responsible for Johnny’s death.<\/p>\n
“Justice for Johnny,” a user said. “He was such a good boy and was well-loved by all the residents. Hope the authorities can find the culprit!”<\/p>\n
Another commented: “Poor Johnny, may you rest in peace. The person who killed you, karma will get you when the time is ripe.”<\/p>\n
“Cat cruelty law must be heavy or else abusers never learn,” stated another user.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has contacted SPCC, Ang Mo Kio Town Council and NParks for more information.<\/p>\n
