Reporting Derek Valcourt
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A cat burned alive is recovering after animal rescuers say it was doused in fuel and then set on fire.
Derek Valcourt has more on the disturbing story.
It’s the kind of story that makes you cringe. It’s the city’s first animal cruelty case of the year.
Mittens the cat has a lot to meow about. She’s alive after a harrowing ordeal at the hands of a juvenile.
“She was intentionally set on fire, doused with lighter fluid, thrown in a milk crate and then a match was thrown on her,” said Mary Helfrich of Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter.
There’s massive third- and fourth-degree burns on her back and side and severe trauma to her ears, but despite it all, vets expect Mittens will recover.
“She’s a little worse for the wear. Her ears will probably fall off, and she will heal. If you note, she is growing some hair back, but her medication is taking care of her. It’s long term,” Helfrich said.
Two 17-year-olds have been arrested and charged as juveniles for the attack on Mittens. Animal shelter rescuers say it happened back on Jan. 8 in the 3300-block of Saint Ambrose Avenue in West Baltimore.
“From the report it looks as though she ran out of the milk crate, down the alley, extinguished herself, and then she came back to find her kittens,” Helfrich said.
Yes, Mittens is a mama. Her three kittens were born before her serious burns. And despite her injuries, vets say she’s still taking excellent care of her family.
It’s a happier ending than the story of Phoenix–the puppy that was set on fire in West Baltimore in 2009 and died shortly after. The criminal animal abuse trial for accused brothers Travers and Tremaine Johnson resumes at the city courthouse on Monday.
Recovery for Mittens is expected to take a couple of months.

May the person(s) who did this to little Mitten face our maker sooner than later. What was this person(s) thinking? People who get a kick out of hurting other humans and defensless animals are sick beyond belief. Lock them up the rapist and murderers. See how long they last!

The article states a juvenile did this. I am not making excuses this is a horrible act of animal abuse. I wonder what was done in the past to this young person to make him/her act out like this. Please community pray for Mittens but also pray for this young person. I will pray that someone can help this individual.

Storm, More than likely there wasn’t anything done to this THUG for him to torture this helpless cat. What was Michael Vick’s excuse (he was bored) his form of entertainment was torturing dogs. He is sick too. Thank GOD someone cared enough to call for help for this poor cat. These children nowadays have no structure in their homelife, once they start school (six years old or not) the parents do their own thing and pop out another one without care or concern for the first one.

I would like to help them by pouring gasoline on them and throwing a match on their ass. How about that?

That juvenile is 17 and should go to court as an adult
January 31, 2011 at 3:32 pm
17 is not a juvinelle, it just depends on your crime. If they had done this to a person they would be tried as adults

i like you your a nice person.Your non-violent..also all this cruel stuff goin on with these animals..people takin there anger out of animals but not the human bein that made them anger so they turn it all on the animal the “innocent one”and if that was an slow,mentally challenged person k storm we both will pray for him/her or maybe him/her did it to see it suffer.i wonder what is this world goin to be 10 years later.

The legal system in this city will do nothing. This kid is a” VOTE” in the future. Then he/she will breed more like him/her. They he/she will murder and become a “guest” of the State for the rest of it’s life at our expense. This kid is prime example of our liberal state. this type of thing has been going on unchecked for at least the past 4 decades! When will the people of this State wake up and see what they have created and start fixing Society at the beginning. This person didn’t just fall out of space we allowed his/her creation. The system is broke and until it get fixed these type of act will continue, unchecked.

Blame Blame Blame, for God’s sake why don’t you people accept responsibility for your actions and stop blaming everyone under the sun. If you had real men in the neighborhood, they would put these punks in their place. Start acting as role models and real fathers with a real family unit. Get some morals, go to church, shut your mouth long enough to listen what an education has to offer. Stop believing everything in life is a joke. Your desire to father another illegitimate child that ends up just being another notch on your belt is pitiful.Children are the future. Children need strong guidance not drug addicted absent parents.What the hell did setting a poor defenseless cat on fire prove? Make them pay the cost to rehabilitate the cat and make them do mandated community service work with animals. Animals can teach a human the meaning of devotion and selfless love. Hold the parent legally responsible and make them pay instead of letting them walk away with no consequences.
This has made me absolutely sick since I heard about it. I never thought in my life time in this country and city I would see the cruelty against man and animal kind that is being perpetrated by people that display behavior that isn’t seen in most third world countries!

I must respond to Rose White, Maaximus and all of the other bleeding heart liberals. Your pseudo intellectualism is nauseating.
This juveniles’s behavior is wrong. It is legally wrong and legally punishable. Animal abuse is defined by law. You don’t know if this person is poor, from a single family home, etc. Children from well to do, two parfent , loving families can be vicious and cruel to animals and younger siblings. You wring your hands and make excuses for the “poor little misunderstood” perpetrator. Yet you are afraid to step up to the plate and deal with animal abuse.
Timothy McVey’s mother said he was “a good boy”. I’m sure that the people who died in Oklahoma City felt that way just before they died in the explosion. they died.
Wife abuse happens because the abuser is usually bigger and can get away with it. An animal has no voice and must be defended by people. Battered women, have a voice, but often are afraid or embarissed and cover it up and don’t tell anyone..

There is NO therapy to prevent further episodes like this nor to prevent the continuous development into serial killing. Poor parenting, abusive home, and poverty do not given birth to a serial killer. These type of people are born, not made.

Alex,
you are correct in your observation that: “These people have zero respect for humans and animals alike. and even less for the rule of law….”
However, I detect in your “voice” a lack of love for humans, You should know “GadDamm ” well that every child has to be conditioned to become a decent, respectable citizen. Your anger should be directed at the parents, not the children who know no difference. Don’t be deluded by the farce that children already know right from wrong when the are born, That’s so much BS, you should be ashamed that you even falled for that BS.

Yes, the 1st reponse is anger. Anger towards an cruelty of an innocent animal. Then comes confusion as to how somebody….anybody could harm an animal. Last comes fear, fear of where is this monster and could my animals, kids or loved ones come in contact with this person.
My question is where was this kids parent(s)? I’m sure this wasn’t the 1st sign of injust abuse or even criminal activity! Most importantly where will the law take this juevinille? Slap on the wrist and get out of my face because the court system is too busy too see this is the beginning of more evil doings? Or to put it more bluntly let this person go free who has NO REMORSE for life! The parents/guardians should face the court system as well! I’m tired of hearing ” I work and/or have other children to watch and didn’t see this coming!!! Wouldn’t that be considered NEGLECT if you don’t parent your child(ren) to respect life????? This entire family parent(s) included need to do mandatory community service with battered and abused animals (supervised ofcourse) as well as therapy for a minimal of five years! Too bad if it inconveniences you or your schedule! I bet with the loss of free time and possibly the loss of income would make you think twice about what the word PARENTING means!!!!!

Rose, that was the same sentiment coming out of Atlanta after those boys put that puppy in a hot oven and burned it to death…. Even Whoopi Goldberg went on record as saying what Michael Vick did wasn’t that heinous – that it’s been part of southern “culture” for decades. As for your comment about people caring more for pets than people – there is some truth in that. Most people have the ability to know right from wrong and to fend for themselves. Domestic animals, like little human babies, are 100% dependent on people to survive. To that end, taking advantage of any person or animal that is dependent upon someone is more egregious than what happens to people who should know better in the first place! Yes, I feel sorrier for this cat than the boy that committed the crime. He’s got a brain and presumably a heart and a conscience.

Any one who would harm any living thing by setting it on fire is not even worth the 2 cent bullet to put them out of their misery. We as a nation are afraid of putting people to death and there is no detorant for this type of behavior. It starts with animals, then evolves into harm towards fellow man. Morals and Values are not taught by Parents and children are set loose to learn on their own, Where were the parents when this kid was messing with fire paraphanalia. If this kid was that sick, what stopped him from just setting the cat on fire instead of burning down the house with his parents in it? This kid and his parents evidentally are garbage, trash….

It’s a shame that we don’t still support public flogging. 10 or 15 lashes should go a long way toward convincing him not to do this again. The mom cat is still caring for her kittens, even though injured. She is one strong furball.
And I suppose the abuser will get tried in juvenile court ? Studies have shown that animal abuse leads to people abuse and torture that leads to murder. This kid needs some serious jail time to reflect on his crimes and get some mental health care as well while he is there.

And even if this kid goes to jail, it would be for a maximum of only three years. It costs 40,000 or more each year for prison…you’d be working harder to pay for that than measley food stamps and medical assistance which does not reimburse doctors any where near the cost of care.

Oh I guess because he shot 20 sum people and KILLED a 9 y/o thats just fine…..Its not parenting all the time you can send your child to the best schools, move away from the city away from crime and they still do the unthinkable what now? its sad this child does need help but all the negativity like hanging him or her isnt making a difference…this poor kid needs help… its a shame animals have more value than human life…..some of you need to be hung for giving up on our future

Well Well Denise a little racist huh? ape? as I stated most you people need to be hung for valuing a animals life more than human I guess that was your pal who killed the 9y/o what you have to say about that? was he a animal?No i dont agree and yes he should be punished but if theres nothing for our children to do what do you really expect them to do?? and furthur more half of you people would never go on st ambrose because your too afraid and I hope half the people are reading this blog…..
February 1, 2011 at 5:08 pm
First of all Rayna, I’m sure the comment section on the white guy who shot the 9 y/o girl (and others) is full of condemnations for him just as this one is for this 17 y/o black kid. But this is NOT the comment section for the Arizona shooting. Secondly, your statement that “if there’s nothing for our children to do what do you really expect them to do?” totally enrages me. That statement sums up what is wrong with so many Baltimore parents. Take responsibility for your own family. It is the parents job to engage their children in activities and provide them with whatever they need. Besides that, no matter how bored a kid is, there is something seriously sick and wrong with a child that finds fun in torturing an animal. Period!

Diane…its nothing wrong with Baltimore Parents who has Sense enough to raise their own children….half the children here were born from crackheads or given to foster homes which means they never had guidance….and just to take it back a notch I have a family member who gave her daughter the best of everything and she was just awarded to the state because she’s 16 and out of control so plenty of times its not PARENTING at all…at the end of the day once a child gets to a certain age they have their own brain…a parent DONT and CANT think or take action for their children because we are not with them 24/7…and yes as a parent you are suppose to engage your kids but whats next when their closing things down? I am a parent myself and I teach my son values and morals about life, he kicked his dog down the steps so I guess Im a bad parent too? please….He’s still a honor student and gives me no trouble at all and I dont look at him no different as I stated some of you need to be HUNG for giving up on our future….

This is one of the most horrific things I have ever read. I am a “bleeding heart liberal” who agrees the person who did this should get a taste of his or her own medicine. Perhaps an ear for an ear? This poor young momma cat will probably lose one due to the burning. I am donating to the Franky Fund even though I feel the family should be held financially accountable for every penny spent toward Mittens’ care the rest of her life. And it needs to be a good life; one financed entirely by this family. In a loving home. It’s not impossible to turn things around. Although I deplore what Mike Vicks did, he has proven himself time and again that he has learned his lesson – but in his case, he had some incentive – his family, his kids, his career – because he is in the public eye he will be made aware of his past crimes the rest of his life. It will always be there. While I believe in mercy and redemption for one who is truly sorry and tries to turn their life around and help those they once hurt, it takes a very very strong person to be able to do this. Most “juveniles” today don’t have that sort of inner strength or desire.

These kids have serious mental disorders. Wouldn’t surprise me if they have been or are being abused by family members direct or extended family. Left unchecked, they most surely will gravitate to bigger crimes including murder. They have no conflict resolution skills. What a shame.

Amazing. It is very sad to see animals tortured. Where is all the hoopla when a human is murdered in the city. Just a blip on the news it is so common. 5 minutes to the tortured cat. Have we all lost our collective minds? Since when is the life of a human considered less news worthy than a cat? Why not outlaw all pets in the city. That would certainly stop abuse.

It is amazing to me that there are people in this world who are capable of this kind of cruelty. This person did a horrible thing, and they deserve to be brought to justice.
It’s also amazing how many people there are making horrible comments. Do you have any idea how hypocritical it is to say “How dare this guy burn a cat! Let’s burn him in the town square”, or “this guy deserves to DIE!”? Please tell me you are not really capable of burning or killing a person, criminal or not. Could you strike the match that burns this child, or be the man/woman who injects the poison? Not that I don’t think what he/she did was terrible and worthy of punishment, but I would not be quite so extreme.
Also, I fail to see what this has to do with liberal vs. conservative. Are you saying that liberals burn animals? That’s also a bit extreme, and if you truly believe that I would suggest you seek some education for yourself. Perhaps you are only saying liberals only SUPPORT the burning of animals, or don’t care that it happens? Well, let me assure you that is incorrect. Being liberal does not mean you lack any sense of moral convictions and values. I really don’t understand why this was even brought up over an article about someone burning a cat alive.
The only person to blame is the child who did it, and perhaps their parents for neglect. There are things we can do about it on a personal level (volunteer at an animal rescue or a shelter) as well as a political level (write to our senators or run for office). But in reality, all that can be done is allow our elected leaders and law enforcement to do their jobs and bring this person, and all others who commit crimes, to justice.
Now, if we are all kind enough people to care about the welfare of poor Mittens, lets all give each other the same kindness and consideration, hm?

No where in this story does it say that a juvenile committed it, so lets pay attention to what’s written before we post things about bad parenting and such. Adults abuse animals as well.
I hope Mittens and her babies find a loving home, and that the parties responsible are prosecuted. And IF it was a child/group of children I certainly hope they get the help they need.

If I’m reading the story correctly, two 17-year olds are charged as juveniles. There’s a problem right there, Baltimore. At 17, these punk thugs knew what they were doing; they just thought it would be fun to harm a cat because they had nothing better to do. Don’t talk to me about what happens if the city doesn’t have enough money to fund programs to keep punks like this off the street – they don’t want our help, just our money to waste. This isn’t the first time and unfortunately this won’t be the last time. The punks who did this are the future in Baltimore City – the next generation – and that’s pretty damned scary. No values, no respect and certainly no common sense, so Rayna when you choose to use the abbreviation “mofos” make sure you know how to use it in the right context. I don’t care what color, race or animal these punk thugs are – they should be brought to justice and not given a slap on the wrist but charged as adults, no matter how old they are. It doesn’t matter if an animal’s life is more valuable than a human’s life in your closed mindedness – what matters is that they are punished to the full extent of the law.

This isn’t about poverty or politics: this is evolution happening before your eyes. The kind of people who have a yen to hurt the innocent and helpless may start with animals then work their way up to people, when they’re older. They don’t always become serial killers: their hurt of others will take whatever form amuses the individual perpetrator. These are psychopaths: they do not possess a conscience. Not even a little one. It would not have mattered if they had been born into the lap of luxery, as many of them are. The kind of people running this world now are psychopaths and their ghoulish values increasingly flavor our society. Take a big whiff and tell me you don’t sense them out there. They are the definition of evil. Evil is presently winning the battle and changing this to a hell planet, one conducive to the survival of their kind and not yours.

I have only 2 words Tire Collar. It should be placed over the head and allowed to rest on the shoulders. Then gasoline may be doused on the lower body and ignited. The tire protects the face for a few minutes to give the individual a few more minutes of life. That gives a moment of pray perhaps. It was on the television show “The Shield”. BTW it was also a form of torture used in Iraq, and the Korean and veitnam wars.

It has nothing to do with race, social status, or how they were raised. My mom was a horrible person who only cared about herself, her booze, and her molesting husband. I had NOTHING growing up. I was not allowed to go anywhere or do anything. I was locked in my room and tortured. TMI, I KNOW, but I NEED to make a point. I am a huge animal welfare activist. They harm that I see inflicted on animals is horrific. It’s usually kids setting them on fire. Adults usually beat and neglect. Tell me, If I grew up severely neglected and abused, why don’t I go out and be a menace? I am extremely compassionate and would never dream of harming anyone or anything who is INNOCENT. That said…SOME animals’ lives are indeed worth more than humans…like the humans who hurt this girl. She is worth more than them. How can people argue with that? It’s sad that they are. People need to quit giving excuses for criminals, no matter what age. They did it because they WANTED to. Because the are HORRIBLE people with no hearts. Their parents not being there or being there (because none of you know how they grew up) did not make these two ADULTS commit this horrible crime. If I can be a normal, productive member of society, then anyone can. Stop with all of the damn excuses. It’s BS!
