OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — A 55-year-old man has been ordered to appear in court to face charges of animal neglect in the case of a cat found locked in an Oregon City storage unit without food or water.
Oregon Humane Society veterinarians estimate the male orange tabby had been without food for three to four weeks when he was found Feb. 9. A storage facility manager heard the cat crying. The Humane Society’s David Lytle says the cat that rescuers named “Milagro” — or “Miracle” in Spanish — is recovering although he remains blind.
The Oregonian says Anthony Glenn Johnson has been ordered to appear March 21 in Clackamas County Circuit Court to face charges of first-degree animal neglect and second-degree animal neglect, both misdemeanors. Described as a transient, Johnson is free on his own recognizance.
