The following story was shared from the Associated Humane Popcorn Park Shelter’s Facebook page. They are a little more polite and professional than us because they have to be. With any hope the scum who abandoned this kitten is captured; or better yet… kicked in the face multiple times. Popcorn Park is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the waste of life who did this.
You’ll have to excuse the bluntness of this, but what the hell is wrong with people? What are people thinking when they toss unwanted pets away like garbage? This pet was actually tossed away, WITH the garbage! On Sept. 16th, Wednesday, which is garbage pick-up day in the town where this occurred, this cat was put out for the garbage. A homeowner came home and saw that someone had placed a pet carrier near his garbage cans. The carrier was turned inwards, possibly in the hopes that when the garbage was picked up, no one would look inside and see the cat sitting inside it. Our ACO, Maria, was dispatched to the scene and retrieved the frightened cat right away.
Here at AHS/Popcorn Park, we have an ACO like Maria, who makes it her life’s work to rescue every wayward animal from the dangers of the streets, and good, dedicated staff who dedicate their lives to the betterment of animal’s lives, which is why we are truly sick and tired of seeing defenseless animals being treated this way. Hopefully if we keep telling their stories, maybe more people will speak up on their behalf. Maybe we’ll get the message across that this must stop.
This cat was found on Barnegat Beach Drive in Waretown, NJ. He’s a male black cat, approximately 6 months old, wearing a red collar and a flea collar. He is not microchipped. He is extremely sweet, friendly, and playful, and he’s been named Cinnamon, since he, “smelled like Christmas” when he arrived. We are offering a $1000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for endangering this cat’s life, and leaving him out for the trash. Please call 609-693-1900 or email: [email protected] with any information. Thanks so much for your help.
Such a dirt bag for doing that ..Glad this baby is safe
Hope someone adopts it asap. She is so cute.????❤️
I’d like to take the dirt bag behind my woodshed.
Hope karma hits the POS who did this like a ton of bricks!!! There are so many rescues that would take this poor kitten glad he’s safe and hope he finds a wonderful home
Some people really suck!!!!
Like to find them…put them
Out to trash.????????????????
That’s just douchy……….
Name her Spooky for Halloween
Aww is he neutered and declawed in an up-to-date with his shots because I’m looking for a cat
Ingrad Breen declawed?
Ingrad Breen declawing is cruel and painful and takes away the cats means of defense.
Ingrad Breen you are an animal abuser

How Effin DARE YOU CALL ME AND ANIMAL ABUSER! SOME PEOPLE HAVE CAT’S DECLAWED.
I DIDN’T MEAN ANY HARM IN IT.
I JUST PUT MY BEST FRIEND DOG DOWN COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
SHE WAS 14 YEAR’S OLD. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND THE BEST DAMN DOG I’VE EVER OWNED!!
SHE HAD A BONE DISEASE.
I MISS HER TERRIBLY. HOW DARE YOU!! I MISS MAMA SHE WAS A BOSTON TERRIER.
YOU’VE GOT NO RIGHT!! ????
Declawing is against the law now and should have been a looooong time ago. Seems to me you have a lot stipulations before you are willing to take in a fur baby, you may be better off without one. Even if she does have her shots, they need regular veterinary care and updates on them.
Annalise Guida adopt this baby
She looks like a mini Blackie that Shirley has
Halloween Black Cat!! Cute! Hope they find the person responsible for this.
Hopefully the dirt bag didn’t steal someone’s cat and dump it
Scumbags. I’ve been taking care of a cat for 4 years. The person moved and left their cat behind. People suck

I hate f’n people????????????
I really hate most people
Sick person
Kitten is better off with a new forever home…going to call them when they open
Can you lift a print from the collar? It’s probably someone else’s cat that some douche trapped and throwing it away.. Hope he finds a home
Kicked in the face!? Wow must be a violent leftie. Maybe they couldn’t afford to keep the cat anymore with the current Covid situation and no work. Ever think of that? Violence solves nothing.
Georgina Louise they left the cat in a carrier, next to garbage cans, on trash day. Plenty of shelters take abandoned pets in, no questions asked, so dumping an animal is unforgivable regardless of the situation.
Also, anyone can be violent. It’s not just a “righty” or a “lefty” thing lol.
Georgina Louise the cat is only 6 months old meaning he was born after covid started so if being out of work and not having a job was the issue why would they go out and buy a cat right in the middle of being out of work and not having money? Plus almost every job has opened back up again. And if you can’t afford an animal anymore there’s two local shelters you can bring them to the least they could’ve done is left the cat in front of one of the shelters it would’ve been a little bit more considerate but either way a shelter would rather you surrender your pet than to see it end up like this
Georgina-Ever think of calling a rescue for help with finding your pet a new home? What the hell is wrong with you. “Ever think of that”…If you needed help with one of your children, babysitting for example, would you leave the pack and play or crib outside for the trash man to take care of it? Good lord. People never cease to amaze me, especially ones like you.
Awww he’s beautiful
I would love to take this beautiful baby
What a beautiful ???? cat. I’m sure will find a home soon. So sad this happened to him
Could it be a stolen pet
What is wrong with people? I hope karma bites the owner hard. Sickening.
Horrible????????poor animals????????
That’s why I love animals and dislike humans
Scumbags
