A hundred and fifty cats and kittens rescued by the SPCA Westchester from a Yorktown Heights home

- New York, USA -


The SPCA Westchester rescued a hundred and fifty (150) cats and kittens from a Yorktown Heights home after its Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) received an urgent call from the Yorktown Police Department requesting assistance.


Police discovered the cats when on Monday, January 30, 2023, they went to the home in the 100 block of Cordial Road to perform a wellness check and found the homeowners, a man and a woman in their 50’s, deceased in the bedroom.


The SPCA said in a news release that the felines were found “living in filth and squalor and being hoarded inside a small dilapidated home.”


“Officials were unable to clear the scene until the SPCA’s rescue team members removed a majority of the cats, who were found trapped in every room of the home, including the walls and ceilings. The conditions were absolutely horrific,” stated the release.


The SPCA said that the all the cats, who appear to be Abyssinian mixes, “are sick and suffering with upper respiratory, eye and skin infections, malnutrition, dehydration, and sadly, some have more severe injuries that require immediate medical attention.” The organization also said that the VOICELESS VICTIMS were starving “and had likely not eaten or had access to water in many days.”


The stressful situation caused one of the furbabies to give birth on the way to the SPCA’s Rescue Center and many others appear to be pregnant.

“Even after all that they've been through, the cats are incredibly sweet and just want to be loved,” said the SPCA.


The SPCA has described this rescue as the largest in their history and you don’t need me to tell you that extraordinary support is now needed to help the organization face this new challenge.


These innocent souls have been neglected for so long and are now in desperate need of veterinary care and rehabilitation which has been anticipated that will cost over $40,000.


The SPCA is understandably asking for donations. Rescue partners from Best Friends Animal Society, Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, Westchester Humane Society, Rescue Right, and Columbia Green Humane Society have come forward to help.

Dog found cemented to a sidewalk and left to die is recovering at Tri-County Humane


- Florida, USA -


The animal rescue Tri-County Humane has been caring for a dog who was found cemented to a sidewalk off Yamato Road in Boca Raton. A Good Samaritan found him and took him to the shelter.


On January 23, 2023, the nonprofit shared pictures of the VOICELESS VICTIM whom they named Trooper. In a Facebook post, they said the pup’s smell was “unbearable”.

While Trooper was being shaved down, maggots crawled from his fur. He had overgrown nails and terrible dental decay.


Staff do not know for how long Trooper was left in that condition but it definitely did not happen overnight. Dr. Julia Sheehan, the veterinarian who has been treating Trooper, told 25WPBF that the poor pooch had been lying in his own waste for so long, he had literally been glued to the ground. “It took them, they say, about an hour to pick him up off the sidewalk. He was stuck,” she said.

Dr. Sheehan estimates that Trooper is about 10 years old and is a Pekingese mix.


Tri-County Humane said that Trooper was diagnosed with twenty-two medical conditions. Among his most critical ailments are paralysis, heart murmur, corneal ulcers, enlarged prostate, worms, severe periodontal disease, ear infections, and urinary tract infection.


Trooper is recovering and Dr. Sheehan said his prognosis is excellent.


I have emailed the Boca Raton Police Department to inquire whether they are investigating the incident and I learned that they are not so I have also emailed the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. If I hear back, I will post an update.


I f you wish and can afford to help out with Trooper’s medical care, please click here. Thank you!

~ Original story:


The Morgan County Sheriff's Department is reaching out to the public for assistance with a horrific case of animal cruelty.


Six puppies were thrown off of a bridge and left in a river on Burreville Road in Sunbright after being stuffed in a red tote bag.


The nonprofit MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said only one puppy survived and the furbaby has been named Survivor. Survivor has a broken leg and more details will be disclosed after a veterinary examination.


In a Facebook post the shelter said that the puppies “Appear to probably be a cur type mix, approximately 7 to 9 weeks old, maybe slightly older.”


MoCo Mutts Rescue Center is offering a reward, which now climbed to $2,250, in exchange for information leading to the identification and conviction of the monster responsible for such a heinous crime. As the nonprofit said: “This should make you angry and ill to your stomach.”


There is a discrepancy with the dates according to which the furbabies were tossed from the bridge. The probable timeframe is between December 24 and December 25.

If you were in the area on those days and you witnessed something unusual or suspicious that can help with the investigation, please, come forward and speak up for those innocent puppies.

They rely on us for justice!

As MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said: “Don't let this crime go unpunished.”
