78 Cats Rescued from Deplorable Conditions
15 Jun
Summary
- Seventy-eight cats and kittens were rescued from unsanitary conditions.
- Agents found feces and trash throughout the home where cats roamed.
- Adult cats are now available for adoption at the SPCA headquarters.

In a significant rescue operation last week, 78 cats and kittens were saved from a squalid home in Lancaster County. Animal enforcement officers executed a search warrant after receiving a tip, discovering the animals in extremely unsanitary conditions, with feces and trash covering the free-roaming space. The air inside the residence was described as harsh due to the environment. Hours were spent by officers ensuring the safe removal of every animal. As of Monday, many of the adult Ragdoll cats are available for adoption at the Pennsylvania SPCA's headquarters in Philadelphia's Hunting Park neighborhood. The rescued kittens are currently too young to be placed for adoption. Interested adopters are advised that the adoption process operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with further details and fees available on the PSPCA website.
