OVER 200 CATS SEIZED IN BLOUNT COUNTY

Posted 12/18/06

TEARS is currently working a case involving over 200 purebred Persian and Himalayan cats. Who knows how long these poor cats suffered before someone saw them and reported it. As you can see from the photos above, they were living in deplorable conditions and suffering from many ailments. Extremely matted - some not even able to walk or stand due to large, heavy mats. Some suffering from runny eyes & noses. All suffering from intestinal parasites.

They are frightened, unsocialized and desperate for help!

These cats were living 5-6 in an open wire crate - huddled together, forced to eat, drink, sleep and defecate all in a tiny, tiny area. A photo of one of the crates is shown above.

TEARS is asking for your help!

We do not have the space, the resources or the money to be able to save all these cats. They will need bathing and grooming. All will need deworming, vaccinations and testing for feline leukemia and feline AIDS.

They will need foster homes to help socialize them and show them that their life is better now. They will need forever homes to welcome them in and allow them the opportunity to be a family pet - loved and cherished.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

DONATE - Please be sure and notate that it is for this case.

FOSTER one or more of the cats until permanently adopted. All expenses are provided by TEARS. You provide the love and encouragment they will need.

ADOPT one or more of these cats and show them that their nightmare is over. They will need time and patience, but will one day be awesome pets full of self-confidence and happiness.

Crosspost this URGENT situation to everyone you know. Word of mouth is powerful and the more people that know, the more help the cats can receive.
