The BC SPCA has been called out a second time to rescue neglected cats and kittens from a large-scale animal hoarder. SPCA special constables were called to Gabriola Island on Oct. 1 to rescue 23 neglected cats and kittens from the same individual who was involved in a troubling hoarding case in Cedar in August in which BC SPCA special constables removed 94 sick and badly-neglected cats. Charges of animal neglect are pending in that case.
The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded primarily by public donations. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of animals through a wide range of services, including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
