DAWSON CREEK, B.C. – British Columbia’s SPCA is asking for help in finding the person who tied up a cat and left it to die under a pile of garbage.

The society says a man collecting bottles behind a motel in Pouce Coupe, B.C., on Monday heard a soft mewing coming from a dumpster, then uncovered a box with the cat inside.

It says the box was taped shut and when the man opened it, he found a female muted tortoiseshell with her legs forced behind her neck and restrained with zip ties.

The man brought her into the South Peace SPCA, where staff discovered the cat had a microchip and her owner had already reported that Rosie was missing from Dawson Creek, 10 kilometres west of Pouce Coupe.
