Cat Put In 'Solitary Confinement' At Animal Shelter After Repeatedly Helping Other Animals Escape
13 November 2019
Friends For Life Animal Shelter
A cat has been put in “solitary confinement" by an animal shelter for being a rebel and letting other cats out to roam the halls.
Friends For Life Animal Shelter in Texas explained that Quilty the cat used to let the dog out at his former home, and has been repeating these tricks now that he is in a shelter, by letting other cats out of their room “several times a day."
<p>“Quilty will not be contained. And he has no shame," the shelter said on Facebook while posting photos of Quilty after he was separated from the other cats. “Quilty loves to let cats out of the senior room. Repeatedly. Several times a day. We have since Quilty-proofed the cat room while he took a brief hiatus in the lobby. His roommates missed him while he was banished to the lobby."</p><p><div id="action_button_container"></div></p><div class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="aa5093673c62089b5aa638f0f2b3dca4"><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/FriendsForLifeHouston/posts/10157943193687112"></div></div><p>Quilty's escape attempts and subsequent solitary confinement have spawned hashtags including #FreeQuilty and #QuiltyNotGuilty.</p><p><strong>The cat has also been featured on <em>The Daily Show With Trevor Noah</em>, with a correspondent calling the cat's actions “The Pawshank Redemption."</strong></p>
