April Russell, 30, from Kislingbury Road, Bugbrooke appeared at Northampton Magistrates' Court on Friday (April 15) accused of causing unnecessary suffering to a kitten.
She had pleaded guilty at a previous hearing, saying she did not realise she was causing the cat any harm. The charges related to offences committed between January 9 and June 13 last year.
The kitten, Tinkerbell, had to be taken to vets on a number of occasions. Her tail had to be amputated and she suffered a fractured jaw, before eventually being rescued by the RSPCA and re-homed.
Russell was banned from owning any animals for life and is not allowed to appeal against the sentence for 15 years.
She must go on a 10-day education and training programme and pay costs of £150.
