OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — A starving, injured, nearly lifeless cat abandoned inside an Oregon City storage locker is recovering after the storage facility manager heard the animal and called the Oregon Humane Society.

The adult male tabby was tangled in what looked like a makeshift leash attached to a shopping cart in the rented storage locker.

The Humane Society says its medical team estimates the cat had been without food or water for two to four weeks when he was rescued Wednesday. He also had numerous head wounds, likely from unsuccessful attempts to escape.

Humane Society officials say investigators have identified the storage-unit renter from a receipt and are trying to find that person., The person could face animal neglect charges.
