Have you kept tabs on the recent animal cruelty case in Texarkana? After apprehending the kitten, our Animal Control Officers took him to the Wisdom Animal Clinic for evaluations. Thankfully, the kitten did not suffer any broken bones from the incident and only had a scab on his nose. Once the kitten was examined, he got to spend the day at City Hall before going to his new home with a friend of a City Hall employee. Thanks to all who helped get this kitten to a good home!
