The Rhode Island Society for the Prevention to Cruelty to Animals (Rhode Island SPCA) announced on their website on Wednesday that they recently seized more than a dozen cats, and found the remains of more than two dozen cats from a home in Newport.
On July 18, 2018, the Rhode Island SPCA executed a search warrant at 103 Kay Street in Newport. A subsequent search of the premise revealed 18 cats found to be living in deplorable conditions, according to the organization. In addition, the remains of 26 deceased cats were found inside a freezer in the residence. The 18 cats were seized and 8 were transported to the RISPCA and 10 were transported to the Potter League for Animals.
