Ontario police say they have arrested the 16-year-old boy who is suspected of throwing a kitten high in the air as shown in a video that went viral over the weekend.

Officers spotted the suspect near Seventh Street and Berlyn Avenue in Upland about 1:45 p.m. Monday, and the boy ran but was quickly tackled and taken into custody, Ontario police Sgt. Jeff Higbee wrote in a news release.

The suspect is an Ontario resident. Because he is a juvenile, police will not release his name or additional information.

The teen was booked into San Bernardino County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of felony animal abuse.

Police were notified early Saturday of a video depicting a male throwing a white cat, football-style, down a driveway and into the middle of a street. Ontario police were able to identify the suspect Saturday afternoon. They also located the cat’s owner.

The kitten, named Spot, is suffering from a broken leg, fractured leg and internal injuries, according to a release from the Inland Valley Humane Society & S.P.C.A. She will remain under emergency care until she has made a full recovery, according to the release.

The society sent out an email request for donations Monday stating that donations “will help us fund Spot’s miracle medical care.” The society’s Operations Manager James Edward did not return a call requesting comment Monday afternoon.

Police asked anyone with additional information about the incident to contact Detective Gary Naranjo at 909-395-2764.
