Feline saved from death but found beheaded near shelter.

Poppy, a gentle and loving rescue cat, had been living at the shelter for almost five years. Unfortunately, her peaceful existence was cut short when she was found decapitated just a few yards away from the shelter. It was a gruesome discovery made by a neighbor on a Thursday morning.

The assistant manager of the shelter, Davina Hanes, shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook. She revealed that Poppy's head was still missing and that the incident happened on Wednesday evening. The shelter had been a safe haven for Poppy since she first arrived there in May 2019. According to Hanes, Poppy was a sweet and affectionate cat who quickly became a favorite among the volunteers and visitors.

The shelter believes that this was an act of pure evil and that they have taken necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the other resident cats. Hanes stated that all the cats have been safely locked inside the shelter in the evenings since the incident. Experts have confirmed that Poppy was beheaded with a clean cut, leaving everyone at the shelter angered, sickened, and heartbroken.

Hanes expressed her disgust and sadness, saying that no animal should have to endure such cruelty. She also shared that the volunteers are traumatized and shocked by this horrific act. Poppy was a beloved member of their family, and her loss has left a void that can never be filled.

The tabby cat was identified as Poppy through her microchip, and two experts have confirmed that she was beheaded. In response to the incident, another volunteer, Samantha Fahmy, shared that the shelter is raising money to build a "catio" near the office. This will provide the cats with more space and an outdoor element to their living quarters in the evenings. So far, over £3,200 has been raised through a JustGiving page.

Faye Kennerley, a trustee of the shelter, also shared her gratitude for the community's support. She expressed how humbled the volunteers feel by the response to Poppy's tragic death. Kennerley acknowledged the strong bond between the shelter and their extended feline family, and she promised to never forget this incident.

The police have been notified and are urging anyone with information to come forward. The incident was reported on Saxon Street, Middleton, on Thursday, March 21st. The shelter and the community are hoping for justice for sweet Poppy and for her to be remembered as the loving cat she was, rather than the victim of a heinous crime.
