Animal lovers rally to save abused cat 'Bruce Almighty'

Hundreds of animal lovers are rallying to support an abused cat that was discovered with its paws and legs bound in electrical tape. More than $16,000 has been raised in an effort to save 'Bruce Almighty.'

The black and white cat was rescued last week and is being cared for by the Regina Humane Society in Saskatchewan, Canada. Because of the blood loss to its paws from the tape, Bruce Almighty had eight of his toes removed. Monday, the Regina Humane Society posted to Facebook that they were hopeful that the cat will be able to keep all four of its legs, but the risk of infection remains.

"The pain and suffering he has endured is unimaginable" Senior Animal Protection Officer B. Lerat said in a statement, according to ABC News.

Bruce Almighty reportedly collapsed into the arms of his rescuers and purred as they removed the tape from his legs. Lisa Koch, executive director of the Regina Humane Society, said the rescue officers were amazed that the cat was able to survive with his injuries.

The Humane Society is still trying to figure out what happened to Bruce Almighty. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact them at 306-777-7700.
