The woman, who was involved in the animal rescue community, had been fostering cats in her home. MSPCA-Angell expressed condolences for her family and all those affected by this incident in a recent social media post.
The cats have a range of medical needs, and those requiring treatment will receive care before being made available for adoption. Some cats may be ready for adoption as early as this week, while others will need more time to recover.
The situation has placed considerable demands on the shelter's resources and staff. MSPCA-Angell is urging potential adopters to consider adopting a cat, emphasizing that each adoption helps create space and resources for care. The organization also welcomes donations to cover expenses related to the medical treatment, food, and daily care of the animals.
