RCMP in the Cowichan Valley are investigating after a family's pet cat was apparently drugged and abused in videos shared on Snapchat.

The videos were sent to Sharline Haglund's daughter overnight on Tuesday by a former friend. The video suggests the year old cat named Gigi was fed MDMA and shaved with a razor, and then thrown out a window. There's also a suggestion the cat may have been given a bleach bath, and that others watched but did nothing to stop it. Gigi has yet to return home and Haglund fears her pet has died.

The BC SPCA says it is aware of the allegations and is assisting the RCMP investigation however it can.

Mounties are appealing to anyone else who has information on what happened to contact them at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
