Recently, the ASPCA Community Engagement team in New York City helped an overwhelmed caregiver who had over 28 cats living in their home. Recognizing the need for help, our teams and experts assisted with removing the cats from the home and providing them with medical care and spay/neuter surgeries. We will also oversee the continued care and placement of these animals.
