Saturday evening, following a tip, Pennsylvania SPCA law enforcement officers arrested James Davis, 19, of the 2100 block of 22d Street in North Philadelphia, according to the Pennsylvania SPCA. Davis admitted to impulsively taping up the cat after seeing it in the yard of the home where he lives with his parents, Bengal said. The cat was found Tuesday in the backyard of a house in the 2200 block of Edgley Street.

Several people have come forward claiming to own "Sticky," as the cat was nicknamed by workers at the PSCPA in North Philadelphia. But no one has been able to prove ownership so far, according to a news release from PSCPA.
