Police station overrun by confiscated cats, sends out call for help on social media

Officers saved the kitties from the slaughterhouse, but are having trouble finding them forever homes

A police station in Jiangsu province has been overrun by cats after officers managed to save the felines from the slaughterhouse, but are now having a difficult time finding the kitties a new home.

Changshu police stopped a suspicious truck earlier this week that was prowling around the city streets at night. Inside, they found some cat traps along with 69 stolen cats, which likely had been destined to be someone’s dinner.

Officers called local animal shelters, but were told that the facilities did not have space for such a large influx of felines, therefore police had no choice but to take the cats back to the station and set them up there.

Obviously, police station’s don’t typically come equipped with cat supplies, so officers were forced to reach into the budget, and into their own pockets, to buy food and kitty litter for the dozens of cats.

Quickly, the police started sending out SOS messages on social media, calling on people to come into the station and adopt the cats. However, while an number of kind-hearted citizens have donated supplies, not enough have come forward to take the animals into their own homes, according to a report from Btime.com, leaving the station in a state of disarray and constant “meowing.”

If you’d like to adopt one of these kitties, you should call the police station at 0512–52487411 for more information.
