RESCUE

ASPCA Removes More Than 100 Cats From Overcrowded NYC Homes In One Day

  1. The ASPCA removed more than 100 cats from unsanitary, overcrowded conditions across three homes in the Bronx and Queens on a single day.
  2. The animals, including kittens and pregnant cats, were surrendered by owners who recognized they could no longer properly care for a growing cat population.
  3. After medical exams, the cats were transported to an ASPCA recovery facility in Ohio for treatment before becoming available for adoption.

The ASPCA pulled more than 100 cats from three overcrowded New York City homes in a single-day operation, working with owners who had lost control of a growing cat population.

Why it matters

The rescue is part of a larger push: since June, the ASPCA says it has helped more than 300 at-risk animals, mostly cats, across the five boroughs through its partnership with the NYPD.

What to watch

The cats are being treated at an ASPCA facility in Ohio and will be made available for adoption once they've been cleared medically.
