In Monroe County, nine cats were rescued from a home in Tobyhanna Township.
The Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals executed a search warrant on Dec. 23 and found three other cats dead inside the home in the 100 block of Chelsea Circle.
The SPCA says the cats had no access to food or water.
The nine that survived were on the verge of starving to death and appeared to have been abandoned but are now recovering at the SPCA.
“This situation is abhorrent. No animal should suffer to the point of relying on the remains of its housemates to survive,” said Jerry Buckley, Pennsylvania SPCA CEO.
“We’re actively pursuing the suspects and, when found, will enforce all applicable laws to the fullest possible extent,” he added.
Officials say there are two suspects they are looking into.
Anyone with information on this case or other animals suffering neglect or cruelty should call the PSPCA cruelty hotline at 866-601-SPCA.
