Jeremy Edward Austin, 30, has been charged with one felony count of cruelty to animals. He was jailed on bond set at $2,500.
On Saturday about 11:30 a.m., Austin grabbed his 7-year-old son’s kitten and threw it about 30 feet, according to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report. The kitten suffered internal injuries and a broken leg and hip.
Because of the injuries, Animal Control had to have the kitten put down, the report said.
