#USA - #news #journal - Hundreds of sick or dead cats were crammed inside this 'rescue'

 

49 cats were found dead at this 'sanctuary' and over 150 more were in critical need of medical help Sign Now Dear friends, When the humane agent and veterinarian walked into Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue and Sanctuary, they must have had the wind knocked out of them. Over 200 cats were crammed into the house which had been repurposed to serve as a safe haven for stray, sick, or unwanted kitties. They discovered that "the medical state of a majority of the cats was critical." Pictures show filthy cats, their fur matted and skin angry with irritation and infection. In them one can see the rooms covered in feces and a dirty syringe in the sink. When the Lake Humane Society seized the cats, desperate to remove them from the abominable conditions, the horror continued — 49 of the cats were dead. 161 more were saved, but will continue to need treatment for countless ailments. This is not the first time that Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue and Sanctuary in Plainesvill, Ohio has come under investigation for cruelty towards its animals. In 2016, the Lake Humane Society found that of the 260 cats at the sanctuary, over 150 needed immediate medical attention. Things were so bad that the rescue's two owners and two other employees were all convicted of animal cruelty. A new person took up the position of the sanctuary's director in January, 2020, but obviously that was not enough to change the horrendous cycle of abuse. Sign the petition and ask the Lake Humane Society Prosecutors to charge those involved with animal cruelty, and to shut down this facility for good! Thank you,   Lauren W. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This is the second time that horrifying abuse and neglect have been discovered at this cat 'rescue.' Sign the petition to shut them down.
