“Our Animal Control Division was called to the scene and the cats are slowly being caught and transported to our shelter,” the SPCA said. “All of the animals are being treated for mass amounts of fleas, upper respiratory infections, skin infections and internal parasites. We have recovered pregnant cats, nursing mothers, kittens and adult cats; all of which are now in our compassionate care.”
The individual living in the home has been arrested and will face animal cruelty charges, according to police.
“We are in need of supplies and monetary donations to help us continue to care for these cats,” the Monmouth County SPCA said. “As we are already in the midst of kitten season with a full shelter, we need your support more then ever!”
