The New Rochelle Humane Society, assisted by the Greenburgh Police Department and Greenburgh Animal Control, removed 62 cats from a home in White Plains, New York. The house has been condemned and the property is in foreclosure. All 62 cats are now at the New Rochelle Humane Society, where we are working hard to assess their needs and provide much needed medical attention. We need your support to in order to be able to care for them. Please help us!
A small, dark, filthy room choked with garbage and infested with thousands of flies became a prison for 62 cats; for some it was a prison for many years. They were housed in dank, dark, cramped cages with barely room to lay down and without litter boxes. Most of the cages housed multiple adult cats, as many as four to a single cage. Several cats were caged as tiny kittens and have lived their entire lives in this environment. Pet carriers housed adult cats; the carriers were so small that the unfortunate prisoners were unable to turn around, stand or escape laying in their own feces and urine. At least five cats were kept in small cat traps, which are intended to catch a cat and deliver it to another location. One cat lived in a trap in this house for eight long years.
