The Cape of Good Hope SPCA received a complaint from a concerned member of the public reporting a house full of cats in poor condition. After obtaining a court order and issuing the owner with a seizure notice, nine cats were confiscated.
One of the cats sadly passed away upon arriving at the SPCA, and four others had to be humanely euthanised due to their critically poor health.The Cape of Good Hope SPCA received a complaint from a concerned member of the public about a house full of sick cats in Tygerdal, Cape Town. It was also reported that the house was filthy on the inside and that cats could be seen scratching themselves in the windows.
A foul, overpowering smell of urine and faeces attacked Werner and Rowan’s nostrils as they entered the house, and it was evident that both the owners and the cats had been living in flea-infested squalor. When the locksmith attempted to open the front door, the owner appeared at the window, demanding to know what they wanted. Werner gave the owner a copy of the court order and asked her to open the front door, but she claimed she didn’t have a key because her husband had taken it. The locksmith then pointed out that this was not possible because the key was in the door. Werner told the owner to unlock the door and let them in, or she would be charged and arrested for obstruction.
