Tinsel
Seven cats were abandoned at the MSPCA-Angell within a one week period –- several in taped boxes and left in the cold outside of the Boston based medical center. The non-profit animal welfare organization is urging the surrender of animals that pet owners can no longer care for directly to staff members at adoption centers and not to abandon them.
“The MSPCA will never turn away an animal that is being surrendered,” said MSPCA Director of Animal Protection, Jean Weber. “In addition to the valuable behavioral and medical information that pet owners share with us, the surrender process ensures a safe handover of each animal. Several of the cats that were abandoned on our property were left trapped in boxes and exposed to harsh weather conditions.”

Frosty
A grey and white cat, now named Frosty, was abandoned near the front door of Angell Animal Medical Center on Saturday, December 5 during a rain and snow storm. Other cats were abandoned throughout the MSPCA-Angell including a kitten, Tinsel, who was left in one of the medical center’s bathrooms.

Grease and Monkey after 8 baths
Two kittens covered in oil and grease, currently being cared for by the
MSPCA-Boston, may be the latest victims in an animal cruelty trend. Grease and Monkey arrived at the MSPCA from Mattapan just days before the summertime period when MSPCA officials are predicting a rise in allegations of
animal cruelty.
In the case of Grease and Monkey, the MSPCA’s Law Enforcement department is requesting that any witnesses come forward to help determine if their injuries were intentionally caused or may have been an accident. The kittens are currently receiving daily baths to slowly remove the possibly toxic material as they shed patches of fur.
