Griffin Pond Animal Shelter is investigating a cat hoarding situation, described as the worst they’ve ever seen.
The shelter announced Monday it rescued 22 cats and anticipated the rescue of 15-20 more, still inside the home.
“We don’t know what the future holds for any of these cats but we know we will be there every step of the way,” the shelter said in a statement. “They are struggling to eat, ravenous, but too much too soon causes them to get sick and it runs right through them. To have to witness this type of devastation is the stuff nightmares are made of.”
Shelter staff are asking for monetary donations and donations of necessary items for the influx of cats.
