Pierced ’gothic kittens’ marketed on eBay by Pa. woman, says SPCA

WILKES-BARRE - Humane officers say a Pennsylvania woman used the Internet to market "gothic kittens" with ear, neck and tail piercings.

Officers with the SPCA of Luzerne County removed three kittens and a cat from a home outside Wilkes-Barre.

Officer Carol Morrison said the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals raided the Ross Township home on Wednesday after getting a tip that the woman was selling the pierced kittens on eBay.

"It's unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens, said Morrison."

Charges are likely against the homeowner, whose name was not released.

Morrison said the woman has a pet grooming business in the basement of the home.    -AP
