Cat Filmed Being Kicked Finds Happy Ending With New Home



BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A stray cat that was filmed being kicked across a Bed-Stuy apartment complex last month has found a new home, according to the ASPCA.

The one-year-old tom cat, named King by rescuers, was adopted on Sunday after footage of a man laughing as he kicked the creature into the air at the Brevoort Houses left animal lovers sickened.

The cat was traced and given emergency veterinary care by the ASPCA, charity officials said.

King's new family, which has not been identified, has "extensive cat-owning experience" and "a single-cat household with children over age 12," the pet-rescuers said.

What a bully for picking on a living being much smaller. What a jerk!

Glad the kitty is going to have a better life, and may karma bite the butt of the jerk big time.

I remember when that attack was posted here...at the time, they had not yet found the kitty and were worried that it could have been seriously injured given the force of the kick.

I'd like to give that kitty attacker a good ass-kicking myself. Or let Dahli do it.

(yes I know it's recorded on video) had a court date this past Monday. For some reason it was adjourned till next month.
