Police are investigating after 22 cats were dumped outside a Waterbury animal control center Friday morning.
Halfway Home Rescue Inc. said: UHaul left the cats outside between 5 and 6 a.m
A senior animal rescue volunteer told NBC Connecticut that the cats are in tough condition. The majority of cats have long matted hair.
The volunteer said: “The conditions you see in these pictures did not happen within a few hours… These were their living conditions before they were thrown away.”
Cats need medical care and supplies. The rescue said they need canned cat food, boxes, paper litter and financial donations for medical care.
The police department is handling the investigation. For more information on where to drop off donations, you can visit the rescue's Facebook page.
