Grisha the cat is hiding from the police. The Tver prosecutor's office found violations in the investigator who closed the criminal case regarding the cat's rape.
Kota Grisha picked up on the street Vyshny Volochok in early July. Its tail was torn off and its internal organs were bruised. The nature of the injuries indicated the animal had been sexually assaulted.
Volunteers brought Grisha to a Moscow clinic, and he was taken under the wing of Inga Kapyrina — founder of the “A Piece of Happiness for a Homeless Cat” foundation.

The story of the raped cat received After the incident became public, the police opened a case under Article 245 of the Russian Criminal Code (Cruelty to Animals). However, the investigation didn't proceed as Inga had hoped.
In November, an investigator from Vyshny Volochyok and two officers arrived at the veterinary clinic. They wanted to seize the cat "for examination and recognition as material evidence in the criminal case." However, the animal was in Kapyrina's possession, and the police only seized the clinic's CCTV footage and documents. They then made another attempt to seize the cat, visiting the foundation's legal address.

It was also revealed that the criminal case had been suspended back in October due to the lack of suspects.

It clearly states that the investigator must order a forensic veterinary examination based on the official documents the cat has from the clinic. Because Grisha's injuries have long since healed, leaving only after-effects, albeit unpleasant ones.
The foundation's founder is currently trying to obtain victim representative status through the courts. She hopes that the sadistic criminals will ultimately be found.
