PRINCE GEORGE–The BC SPCA is reminding the public to not leave their pets outdoors, especially during the cold weather after an act of animal cruelty.

The RCMP received a complaint of five cats who’d been kept in the back of an open truck in a wire create for about two months. When officers attended the scene one of the five cats was deceased and the other four were living in their excrement.

The SPCA was called in and the cats were taken to the South Okanagan / Similkameen SPCA Branch. Two of the four cats that were still alive, were too far gone to be saved, leaving one healthy survivor and one cat that will need extensive care to recover.

Raffi, will need entropion surgery on his lower eyelids, oral surgery to fix his teeth and repair a lesion on his lower canine tooth. He is also being treated for skin irritation caused by urine scald.
