Ohio Rescuers In Shock As They Find Kitten Suffocating In Plastic Bag After Horrific Abuse

Animal cruelty is unfortunately becoming all too common, but what happened in Ohio recently left everyone shaken.

Rescuers discovered a tiny kitten trapped inside a plastic bag, gasping for air and barely clinging to life.

Cypress House Kitten Rescue immediately sprang into action, racing against time to save the fragile little life.

The kitten, later named Griffin, had been suffocated and abandoned by a boy, left helpless and struggling to survive.

Thanks to the quick response of the rescue team, he was pulled from the bag and rushed to safety.

Once at the rescue, Griffin underwent a thorough medical examination. The prognosis was grim: he was critically ill and required intensive care in an incubator.

Lisa Jacobson, Griffin’s foster carer, quickly realized the tiny kitten was facing serious neurological challenges alongside his other injuries.

Despite all he had been through, Griffin refused to give up. His tiny body was fragile, but his spirit was unbreakable.

Lisa, an experienced foster who had cared for animals with neurological issues before, remained cautiously hopeful, sharing in an interview:

“I have been involved with cruelty cases in the past, but not like this. I’ve worked with animals who have been neglected or part of hoarding situations. Suffocation was a whole new, uncharted area.”

Griffin could not have survived without professional care. Once he was placed in a warm incubator, he finally had the chance to rest, recover, and slowly start healing.

Each day, he grew a little stronger. His little chest was rising and falling with steadier breaths, and his eyes were starting to show the spark of life that had been dimmed by his traumatic ordeal.

It was a delicate process, but Griffin’s determination to survive shone through every small improvement.

Yet, the story didn’t stop there. As Lisa Jacobson continued caring for Griffin, she uncovered a chilling truth: he wasn’t the only kitten targeted in this horrific act.

Nine other tiny kittens had faced the same. They were cruelly abandoned and scattered around a local park, left as prey for predators, described as “coyote snacks.”

It was almost too much to believe, but thankfully, each of these little lives was saved just in time, pulled from danger before any more harm could reach them.

The person responsible for this cruelty has yet to be found, but Lisa’s mission has grown beyond just caring for Griffin.

She is determined to make people aware of how widespread animal abuse can be, sharing

“My whole goal of sharing was to raise awareness that animal abuse is in all of our backyards. I encourage everyone to say something if they see something. Animals can’t speak, and we need to all be their voices.”

Today, Griffin is a fighter, slowly regaining strength and showing everyone his resilient spirit. With the care he’s received, there’s hope that he will fully recover and experience the love and safety every kitten deserves.
