Animal Cruelty

Life for Angelo has not always been easy. This snow-white cat spent most of his youth in the home of a hoarder, and many years of neglect had tragic ramifications on his health and wellbeing. Thankfully, the ASPCA got to Angelo just in time, and it wasn’t long before the perfect adopter came along and saw his potential. Now, Angelo is living the life of his dreams. Here is his Happy Tail.

As many of you know, the ASPCA is currently in the third year of a groundbreaking partnership with the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Through this collaboration with law enforcement, we have been able to help rescue more animal victims of neglect and cruelty than ever before.

Great news: Nearly 700 cats and dogs rescued by the ASPCA in January are ready to find loving homes! The animals were suffering from severe neglect at the site of an unlicensed, 122-acre facility in Raeford, North Carolina. Over the past several weeks at the ASPCA’s temporary shelter, they have received much-needed medical attention and behavioral care to prepare them for adoption.

When two animals are bonded, it means that they rely on each other and must find a home together. It also means that we must work doubly-hard to find them an adopter (who is willing to provide twice the love). Fortunately, in the case of kittens Alba and Abe, eight paws, two noses and countless whiskers is just what one person was looking for! Here is their Happy Tail.
