She’s a little black kitten, purring and affectionate, but Sweetie has survived a heartless attack in which she was thrown, while already injured, onto a country road and left there.

Now the Ottawa Humane Society wants to track down her owner.

Witnesses told Humane Society investigators that around 2 p.m. Saturday, someone stopped a silver pickup truck on Colonial Road east of Navan and threw Sweetie out the front passenger window.

The driver was a man in a baseball cap. Witnesses did not get the licence number as the truck drove off.

The witnesses picked up Sweetie from the road. She was badly hurt.

The Humane Society says her tail was badly broken, with the bone poking through the skin, and it will be amputated this week. They think the injury happened before the kitten was dumped on the road, possibly by being caught in a heavy door.

Sweetie’s face was also bloodied, though this is less serious.
