Two regional animal saves are taking care of 37 cats, a few of which were pregnant, that were discovered Friday discarded in a field.
The felines were scared however in good health, said Jen Johnson, creator of Ninth Life Rescue Center, who is partnering with Wayward Whiskers Animal Rescue to get the cats veterinary care and gotten ready for adoption.
“They were petrified, they were so scared,” she said. “They were just like frozen in place.”
The animals were discovered off Athena Drive, which ranges from Delmont into Salem and gets in touch with Route 819, by 2 sets of Good Samaritans who live close by. One of the Good Samaritans is promoting the felines till they are prepared for adoption in a couple of weeks.
Johnson doesn’t believe the cats existed long — they were plagued with fleas and had loss of hair. There was no food or shelter left for them and they all appeared to have actually been indoor cats, she said. In the meantime, Johnson said Greensburg authorities are looking for out who discarded them.
“Dumping animals is illegal, abandonment is illegal and we need somebody to face consequences,” she said.
All of the animals have comparable light gray coloring, which leads Johnson to think they belong.
“We’re hoping that somebody saw something,” she said. “We’re hoping that somebody comes forward.”
She motivated animal owners to get their animals made sterile or neutered. Anyone who cannot care for animals they have ought to connect with regional saves rather of discarding them.
Both saves are accepting contributions to aid with the felines’ care that they approximate to be $4,000 each. Donations can be directed to Ninth Life through the center’s Facebook page or online at ninthliferescue.com/fundraisers.
