RCMP in Saskatchewan have laid animal cruelty charges against two people after a kitten was burned at a country music festival.

Mounties received a complaint on the weekend about an animal being abused at a campsite at the Craven Country Jamboree.

The kitten was taken to a veterinary clinic which posted an update on Sunday saying the little cat had burns on its body, but was doing well.
