Kush Ball, a volunteer at Paws Hillbank Haven Rescue, stated some cats have been discovered alive, however in a worrying situation.
“The ones that we found, they had foam and stuff coming from their mouths, they had runny eyes,” Ball stated.
The workforce on the rescue shelter have been working to lure and rehome stray cats within the space.
Volunteer Mikayla Tootell stated the lifeless cats have been discovered to have ingested an “unknown substance”.
“(I’m) heartbroken, it’s not OK … just because they are strays, they don’t deserve this.”
Local Rachel Yacmouis stated she was nervous about her cat named Joey.
“You are horrible people, you’re horrible,” Yacoumis stated of the suspected cat killers.
The RSPCA stated it’s investigating a suspected poisoning incident at Angle Vale.
