Final Chapter in the Sticky the Cat Story
A huge number of people were moved deeply by the recent story about "Sticky the cat", the sweet young feline that was so cruelly wrapped in duct tape and then abandoned. Fortunately the conclusion of this story has a happy ending, in which Sticky was adopted by a loving family, and a Philadelphia man was arrested as the prime suspect in the commission of the crime of cruelty to animals.
However, it was difficult to be able to see just how beautiful this kitty really is. The pictures which circulated widely around the Internet were graphic photos taken before she was released from her duct tape imprisonment. Several folks inquired about if it were possible to see "Sticky" devoid of her silver binding.
In order to end the story completely, here is the photograph taken shortly after the caring staff at PSPCA patiently and lovingly liberated her from her taped prison.
Check out the video uploaded to YouTube by The Associated Press. It features the entire story from the heartbreaking beginning to its wonderfully fortuitous ending.

Poor sweet kitty I am sure she will have a waiting list of potetnial owners if sh eis not able to go back to her original owner! ;o)

I hope the people who did that to her rot in hell- and it's probably a teenage boy. Of course, the kids parents will say "not my johnny" Whoever did this is sick-demented child/adult

I too hope the people that did that to that beautiful cat ROT in hell. Who could so such a horrid thing to such a loving creature?????????????????? TOTALLY DISGUSTING....I hope they're brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

May all who willingly hurt cats suffer agonizing deaths with no kindness ever in their lives. May they be annihilated absolutely.
And for this beautiful little girl, may her life be one long, healthy, comfortable and loved one!

I am so glad this kitty is doing well. I hope the person that did this to her isn't. I hope they find the person responsible for this and wrap him in duct tape, in prison.

Just look at this kitty! Even after going through what she did she still loves human attention. It shows how forgiving critters can be. Humans can be so cruel! I hope this person (can't call them human!) is caught and punished really hard for this behavior. What is next a innocent child or adult? I pray not.

Thanks, Jo, for showing us that this potentially tragic story has a happy ending. This cat is beautiful and certainly deserves better than the treatment she had at the hands of that sick torturer.

That cat deserves such a good home after what she's been through! What a sweet looking cat!!! The person(s) responsible for this deserve to be duct taped as well!

I'm so glad that little kitten is OK and I hope she has a long happy life.
I think 2 people were probably involved, one to hold her and one to put the tape on ! Sick people ovepowering a defenceless creature.

How nice to see Sticky all happy and in a loving home now! Sometimes bad things happen, and work out all for the best in the end! Wishing the best for Sticky in his new home!
