EATONTOWN – An unknown person dropped 20 cats off in front of the Monmouth County SPCA on the morning of September 19, and they are now thriving.
According to the social media of the SPCA, the cats were “stuffed” into five crates and left outside the building without food or water. There was a note that said their caretaker had passed away.
The cats were given warm bedding and meals and were given medical check-ups to see if they had any issues.
“We understand that this individual was trying to do the right thing however it is totally inappropriate and unsafe to abandon animals outside – not to mention, illegal by NJ state law. The Monmouth County SPCA is always here to help, as we have been doing for years and years, and we’re saddened that this woman felt abandoning these animals was her only option,” the SPCA said.
They were looking for any information as to who this person was. They know that she was a white female in a black Mazda CX-7.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Monmouth County Cruelty Hotline at (877) 898-7297. You can remain anonymous.
