“Additionally, he is on medication for an ongoing inner-ear infection, which needs continuous treatment,” according to the Facebook post. “This causes him to have a head tilt.”
The shelter said the person who took the kitten is in custody, providing conflicting stories. One alleged story was that this person gave the kitten to someone else.
“If this is the case, we urge that person to return the kitten to us immediately during our open hours, no questions asked,” according to the shelter.
But another story the person told was the kitten was released the kitten in a Walmart parking lot, possibly in Middletown. Middletown Division of Police and animal control have searched for the black and white kitten, but it has not been found. He has a blue collar and silver AFHS tag and a yellow microchip tag.
The shelter said this person was approved for adoption, then stole a kitten after being told it was already adopted.
“We fear for the kitten’s safety and well-being if this is true,” according to the shelter. “This is a serious matter, and we need your help to bring this kitten back to safety and to the home he was meant to have.”
Anyone with information or has seen the kitten should call contact Middletown’s Animal Control Officer Jamie Hearlihy immediately at 513-320-5240.
