Sadly, help arrived a little too late, as the civet cat had already died.

Though the cause of death is unclear, some speculated that a car may have run over the civet cat, evident in its bulging eyes.

Hope the civet cat is in a better place now

Though the wild creature may not be anyone’s pet, the unfortunate state it passed away in is heartbreaking nonetheless.

We hope the civet cat didn’t suffer for long and that it’s in a better place now.

Kudos also go out to the EMAS officers who arrived at the scene shortly after the discovery.
