The Ontario SPCA Midland & District Animal Centre is seeking help from the public to care for 16 cats that were found abandoned on the centre’s door step.
Cardboard boxes containing the cats were discovered when staff arrived for work earlier this week.
Inside the boxes, staff discovered two adult cats and 14 kittens believed to be between six to eight months of age. All were dirty, malnourished and infested with fleas.
Rehabilitating the cats could take several weeks and the Midland & District Animal Centre is asking for donations to help cover the cost of their care.
Donations can be made in person at the animal centre, which is located at 15979 Highway 12 East in Port McNicoll, or online.
Once they receive a clean bill of health, the cats will be spayed or neutered and will be available for adoption through the Midland & District Animal Centre.
