Emergency Cat Rescue
St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center rescued over 100 cats in an alleged neglect situation at a home in South Bound Brook, New Jersey. Animal control officers from St. Hubert’s were called to assist the South Bound Brook Police Department after a neighbor complained about a foul odor coming from the home.
When our officers arrived at the home they discovered an extraordinary number of neglected cats and kittens living in poor conditions. The odor was ammonia from an extreme buildup of feline urine, which is hazardous to animals and humans.
Our team immediately got to work – despite the waste and clutter, they rescued 113 cats, including 46 neonatal kittens, as quickly and as gently as possible. Most of the cats have upper respiratory issues and some have severe eye infections. All of them need to be spayed or neutered. And many are scared, sickly, and underweight.
“It is gut-wrenching to see so many cats and kittens living in filthy, poor conditions,” said Chris Schindler, Vice President of Field Services for St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center. “We are grateful to the South Bound Brook Police Department for answering the call to help these animals.”
Our teams in Madison and at the Kitten NICU are working around the clock to care for these cats. But we still need your help. Please consider making a donation today to help us continue to provide the best possible care to every cat and kitten.
