“These cats are now safe, warm and fed in an emergency foster home (there are cross contamination risks for placing new cats straight into a cattery), thanks to our very dedicated team member and emergency foster having to drop everything to rally around making sure these guys got what they needed this evening.”
The charity is now appealing for information about how the cats come to be on their doorstep, as the team is concerned that there could be other pets that are in need of help.
The statement continued: “We are appealing for any further information anyone may be able to provide us in this situation and for them to reach out. We are genuinely concerned as to the circumstances somebody has found themselves in to consider this as an option, and if there are any other pets that they may need help with.
“If you know anyone who lives or works in the three roads connecting to our branch on Creaton Road, Brixworth, Northampton, NN6 9BW – out towards Creaton, Cottersbrooke or Brixworth and who may have suspicious CCTV or ring doorbell footage of cars passing at around 5pm please tag and get in touch, any help is appreciated.”
Following the upsetting incident, the RSPCA Northamptonshire wants all pets owners to know that they are here to help if they begin to struggle to provide for their pets.
