More than two dozen cats and kittens were rescued from extreme hoarding conditions in Bristol Township on Tuesday morning, Bucks County SPCA said on social media.
Many of the furry friends who were taken in were “suffering from severe upper respiratory infections and ulcerated wounds resulting from fur soaked in feces and urine,” the BCSPCA said.
“Our priority is to help every animal heal and recover,” Linda Reider, the executive director of BCSPCA said in the post. “Once healthy enough, each one will be spayed or neutered and placed for adoption so that they can find loving homes.”
The BCSPA said that they worked with the with Bristol Township Police’s Animal Control Officer and Bucks County Human Services Co-Responder to secure the voluntary surrender of the cats, instead of obtaining a warrant for their seizure.
The owner has now been connected with resources to help with their wellbeing, and the BCSPCA said that hoarding is a serious and common issue.
Anyone who is struggling to take care a large number of pets or knows someone who may be hoarding, they can call the BCSPCA tip line at 844-SPCA-TIP (844-772-2847) or reportcruelty@buckscountyspca.org.
