RESIDENTS in Bramford have rallied together following a sickening attack when thugs tortured a cat by pulling out all its claws.

The owner of the cat, which was attacked last month, today said the animal is slowly recovering and revealed she has received support from the entire community following the incident.

The woman, who does not wish to be named for fear of a repeat attack, said: “People have been so appalled that they are asking questions and if it takes us six months to get a name we will do it somehow.

“People have come up and said to me we are not cat people but this is absolutely appalling.

“I have received a lot of support from people I don't know asking how the cat is.

“These are just ordinary people who think this is out of order which of course it is.

“They just want the perpetrators brought to justice,” she added.

One villager, who the injured cat's owner does not even know, has put up a £20 reward for information on the attack.

Meanwhile the cat is making steady progress although remains unable to climb because its claws have yet to fully grow back.

“He is better in himself and is gradually resuming his normal routine,” the cat owner said.

“He is OK with the people he knows and I'm just glad that he is getting back to his normal life,” she added.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Pc James Dale on 01473 613500.
