BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, Brooklyn (PIX11) – The cat that was ruthlessly kicked into the air in a sickening video that sparked outrage and an arrest has been found, the North Shore Animal League told PIX11 Tuesday.

“Our emergency team rescue team was onsite this morning and they were able to capture the cat,” confirmed North Shore Communications Manager Linda Calabrese. Because the alleged cat-kicker has been charged and police are investigating, the kitty was taken to the ASPCA as per NYPD policy.

The condition of the grey and white kitty, which is apparently well known around the Brevoort Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant, is now being assessed. The cell phone video, which circulated on Facebook, allegedly shows 21-year-old Andre Robinson coaxing the cat, petting it and then kicking it like a football — so hard that if flies 8-10 feet through the air and into nearby bushes.

After punting the defenseless creature, the man in the video can be seen dancing and laughing as his friends join in.

Robinson faces charges of aggravated animal cruelty. According to the NY Daily News it’s not Robinson’s first run-in with the law — he apparently has a list of minor priors and an arrest for a knife-point robbery three years ago.

The ASPCA would only confirm that the male cat was taken to the Animal Hospital on May 6th to be evaluated by a veterinarian.

The North Shore Animal League has offered to put it up for adoption once the case has been closed.
