(Associated Press) Authorities in northern Arizona are investigating an animal cruelty case in which a kitten was buried up to its neck in concrete and didn't survive.
Andrew Chatwin rescued the cat in late May from concrete inside a 7-foot-tall metal pipe he was using to build a horse shelter in Colorado City. The cat died days later at a Utah animal shelter.
