A stray orange tabby with a plastic ring around its body was spotted roaming Ellington, Missouri. That is all the information Laura Baker, a registered nurse and founder of the Itty Bitty Kitty City rescue in Ellington, had. Baker went searching and found the kitten wrapped in a plastic ring was so tight it was digging into its skin. She immediately took him to the vet, who performed emergency surgery to remove the ring.
The plastic ring was from Munchkin, makers of baby products and accessories. Baker reached out to the company via email and explained how packaging for the product, Any Angle Cup injured the cat. A representative from Munchkin responded and made a donation to Itty Bitty Kitty City rescue that covered the cost of surgery.
