OPERATION BLACK PANTHERS This weekend we have been helping the police with another horiffic rescue. I spent over an hour trying to assessthe cats in the back of a police van " cage" Despise lack of resources and space we were faced with no other option than to help . They had rung every out of hours vet in West Yorkshire and not one could offer a solution. We were contacted late yesterday by police officers who had been to an incident in leeds, arrested severali individuals, were in a volatile situation. Every window in the property was smashed, the windows were boarded and local residents were threatening to burn the property down. On searching the property for the initial incident, the police discovered 13 black and black and white young cats living in appalling conditions in the property. All cats have evidence of severe abuse and neglect.. they all have medical issues and concerns, some worse than others, and they are all receiving emergency veterinary care. Thankfully they are all very hungry and eating well. Roastie, Mash, Jersey, Turnip, Julienne, Cauli, Butternut, Little Leek, Mushy, Mangetout, Sugarsnap and Tinna are all now safe however are lin less than adequate accommodation.
