CHASE, B.C. — The BC SPCA has seized dozens of cats from squalid conditions on a Chase property.

The agency says the 47 adult cats and 12 kittens had been neglected, and some were injured and suffering from a variety of medical problems.

All of the animals were being kept in an outdoor camper and a travel trailer.

“The cats were being kept in a filthy environment, with feces everywhere and high levels of ammonia from the urine,” said Kathy Woodward, senior animal protection officer for the BC SPCA in a news release.

Woodward went on to say both the camper and trailer contained dense mould, and the animals didn’t have food or water.
