Animal Cruelty

UPDATE 8/10: Since late July, the ASPCA has been on the ground in Westport, MA, assisting in a massive farm animal cruelty case. All of the animals have been removed from the scene and transported to safety. The majority are currently being sheltered and cared for at a temporary shelter set up and operated by the ASPCA, while a small number have been place with various rescue organizations.

In the case of one quiet cat named Crème, all it took was the right family—both human and animal—to get him to come out of his shell. Here is his story.
