Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions, a cat rescue organization in Las Vegas, has recently rescued nine cats from abandonment after they were found in a closed cardboard box at an apartment complex. The cats, ranging from kittens to adults, were discovered by a resident who promptly contacted the rescue.
The cats were found overheated and piled on top of each other in the box, along with a small towel and a handful of food. Thankfully, the resident acted swiftly, and the cats are now in the care of Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions. Despite their ordeal, the cats and kittens are reported to be doing well.
The mother cat and her three-week-old kittens have been placed with an experienced foster family, receiving the necessary care and supplemental bottle feeding due to their young age. The other cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and are now ready for adoption through Homeward Bound.
Covering the medical expenses for these cats amounts to approximately $170 per cat, and Homeward Bound is seeking donations to help cover these costs. Those interested in contributing can do so by specifying “nine cats” in the comment field when donating through the provided link or by contacting Homeward Bound directly via phone or online.
This heartwarming rescue effort underscores the importance of community support in caring for abandoned animals and providing them with a second chance at a loving home.
