Portland, OR – A Portland woman has been arrested and charged for nearly killing her kitten with cleaning supplies. According to sources, Elizabeth Zurcher-Wood brought her bright pink kitten to Dove Lewis Animal Hospital on December 12; the kitten was “barely responsive.”

As reported by KPTV News, the kitten was hypothermic and in shock after Zurcher-Wood “cleaned” her with Windex, Spic and Span and rubbing alcohol, claiming the kitten was “sick” in explanation for the toxic use of chemicals.

The veterinary team was able to treat the kitten who is now “healthy” and in a foster home. Zurcher-Wood was arrested and she is facing two counts of Animal Abuse in the 2nd Degree. The woman has been in trouble with the law in the past for trying to kidnap a child while “wielding” a machete.
