The BC SPCA says nine cats have a long recovery ahead after they were found inside storage bins at a vacant northern B.C. property.
The two kittens and seven adult cats had been trapped in the containers for days without food or water, breathing through holes punched in the lid.
“These cats were starving, and matted with feces and urine. Some of the adult cats would not have lived much longer and will require a refeeding plan to slowly reintroduce their bodies to food,” said SPCA North Cariboo and District animal centre services manager Alex Schare in a news release.
Several of the cats scored only one on the body condition scale of one to nine and were so badly matted that their fur had to be shaved.
But Schare says despite everything they have been through, all of the cats are vocal and friendly.
Anyone with information about these cats is asked to please call the BC SPCA’s toll-free hotline at 1-855-622-7722.
