Seven kittens have been taken from "what appeared to be an abandoned home" in Fort St. James, B.C., according to the provincial SPCA.
Seven kittens have been taken from "what appeared to be an abandoned home" in Fort St. James, B.C., according to the provincial SPCA.
An animal protection officer responded to the home to investigate a complaint about a dozen cats "that appeared to be neglected and possibly abandoned," the B.C. SPCA said in a news release Friday.
When the officer arrived, she found one of the windows at the front of the house had been broken, with glass strewn about the deck, the SPCA said.
"The officer could see garbage and objects strewn throughout the home through the broken window," said Eileen Drever, senior officer for protection and stakeholder relations for the B.C. SPCA.
When the officer yelled to make her presence known, a kitten jumped out of the broken window to greet her, the SPCA said. The first kitten was followed by several more, with a total of seven jumping out onto the broken shards of glass on the deck.
"The kittens followed her when she went back to her vehicle," said Drever. "The officer noticed a few of the kittens were drinking from a mud puddle in the middle of the driveway."
The animals took shelter under the officer's truck and under the porch when it began to rain, the SPCA said, adding that the house was close to traffic and "there was no visible food or water" set up for the kittens.
