Oct. 17: Read today's blog about this rescue!
Oct. 11: Our Animal Rescue Team helped rescue 110 cats and kittens from a large-scale alleged cruelty situation at a commercial breeding operation in Virginia.
According to USDA inspection records, the breeder had more than 50 Animal Welfare Act violations just this year for failing to provide safe conditions or adequate veterinary care. Reports mention emaciated cats, poor living conditions, a lack of veterinary care and a kitten at the facility who died after weeks of deteriorating without much-needed medical attention.
This is an ongoing situation. Donate now to help these animals get the care they need and support all our lifesaving work.
Cats and kittens rescued from a large-scale breeder in Virginia are safe now, thanks to you. Donate now to help us protect more animals who need us the very most.
Was the owner of the property/animals arrested?
The Virginia Attorney General’s Office is handling the investigation and is best suited to answer any questions regarding charges.
What will happen to the animals now?
The animals were moved to a safe, undisclosed location where they received much-needed care. They have been placed with our rescue partners, and many of them have already found a loving home.
Can I adopt one of the cats?
All of the cats have been placed with our rescue partners, and we are happy to hear that many of them have already found a loving home—please contact the individual organizations below for more information on fostering or adopting.
