29 Cats Up for Adoption

The MSPCA is caring for the ragdoll cats until they are placed for adoption.

Twenty nine thin and matted cats from a single family home in Whitman are now resting at the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-Angell Animal Medical Center (MSPCA) Boston adoption center after they were voluntarily surrendered to the MSPCA’s law enforcement department last Friday.

MSPCA announced that the age of the cats range from eight weeks to seven years old. They are suffering from upper respiratory infections, for which they are undergoing treatment.

Most of the cats are ragdolls, a breed characterized by their semi-long haired coats and warm personalities. They will remain in isolation at the adoption center until treatment for their infections concludes, after which they will be placed for adoption.
