CONVICTED (2016) | Jason M Kelly, born c. 1969, of Wyver Crescent, Coventry CV2 5LT – threw boiling water and bleach over an elderly tabby cat leaving her with deep burn injuries
Vile Kelly threw boiling water and bleach over a 16-year-old tabby cat because she kept going to the toilet in his garden. The cat called Geri was left with horrific burn injuries that may never fully heal.
The water caused deep burn injuries to Geri’s skin, which a vet said would have been extremely painful.
RSPCA Inspector Louise Labram said Geri’s owners realised something was wrong when she went missing.
She said: “Geri had gone missing one night, which was not like her at all.”
“The next morning her owners found her in a lot of pain and distress, but it was not immediately obvious what had happened to her,” she continued.
“It was only when her fur started falling out and her skin looked sore that a vet said she was suffering from burn injuries.
“Over the next few days, her injuries were getting worse and the burns started to eat away at her skin.
“Kelly said he threw the hot water on Geri because he was fed up of her going to the toilet on his property – a callous act which is completely out of proportion for the offence and caused this poor cat much pain and distress.”
The injuries have left permanent scarring to Geri’s body, including a patch on her head which has left a part of her skull exposed.
Inspector Labram said that Geri’s owners have noticed an obvious change in the cat since the incident.
She said: “Six months on, Geri is still physically damaged and is not herself. She no longer goes outside, is very clingy and follows her owner around everywhere.
“It has not only affected her physically, but it has damaged her mental wellbeing too.”
Sentence: 12 weeks in prison; £538.94 in costs. Banned from keeping animals for 10 years (expires April 2026).
Another Mentally Disturbed Scum.
He wont have no luck for what he has done.
Please please unless you live out the way, and away from neighbours and roads. Keep Your Cats Indoors. Get a litter tray, litter, a cat scratching post, toys, balls, leave fresh water down and food.
I hate to say this. But this is a common problem we are seeing more and more of this type of cruelty to Cats. They get run over on the road. There are also some cruel children out there and adults. Also Gardeners regularly poison them.
