A kitten was found abandoned in a gutter in the pouring rain with "its teeth smashed in."
The four-week-old kitten was found just off County Road in Walton, by a volunteer from the County Cat Rescue. Maria Miller, who runs the sanctuary, said the kitten called Star was found in a gutter during heavy rain and had "blood pouring from its mouth"..
Star was checked over by Maria who said the cat had "its teeth smashed in" and its gums were "detached from its jaw". The kitten also suffered a broken jaw which has now fused shut and five months on she needs life-changing surgery or she will not survive.
