The tiny, black kitten was dumped along FM 2100 in northeast Harris County in late July. As the woman in a black Ford 150 pick-up truck pulled away, she ran over the kitten, which suffered broken bones and internal injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The incident was captured on video by a witness.<\/p>\n
Precinct One and the Houston SPCA offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the woman’s identity.<\/p>\n
Three weeks later, Lucie Siewe, 49, was arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a right way and a wrong way to treat animals and this way was not only wrong, but criminal,\u201d Constable Rosen said. \u201cWe know that for many people, pets are family and this should have never happened. If she did not want the kitten, there were plenty of ways to put it up for adoption.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The badly injured kitten was rescued by the Houston SPCA\u2019s animal ambulance. Now three months old, Alex is recovering after surgery for multiple fractures and other treatments for a deep leg wound, according to the SPCA. He most recently underwent a lifesaving surgery performed by a Houston SPCA veterinarian to repair a diaphragmatic hernia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He’s probably used three of his nine lives through this,” said Dr. Roberta Westbrook.<\/p>\n
