According to the animal hospital where the cat is being treated, doctors shaved its pelt off because its fur had been nearly burned to ashes and smeared with a lot of oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The unfortunate feline friend suffered the most severe burns on its ears and feet, a representative of the animal hospital says. Aside from physical injuries, the cat has also been diagnosed with post-traumatic suffering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
