SPCA Florida welcomes 56 felines from Polk County hoarding case

In partnership with Polk County Animal Control, SPCA Florida welcomes 56 felines into their care from the Polk County hoarding case discovered two weeks ago in Frostproof, FL. 

Under the care of SPCA Florida’s Adoption Center Veterinarian, fifty-six felines will be treated for upper respiratory, flea infestations, parasites, and various other health conditions. 

Two nursing moms are included in the 56 felines at SPCA Florida, which will be placed in the SPCA Florida’s foster care program to heal, grow strong, and thrive to become adopted. 

“We are grateful for our strong partnership with Polk County Animal Control,” said SPCA Florida Executive Director, Shelley Thayer. “The good news is that the animals were rescued, the cats are on the mend, and they are extremely sweet and very adoptable,” said Thayer. 

As the felines complete their upper respiratory medications, they will be ready for new homes. Spring Roll, a medium haired dilute calico has already found her home this past weekend. 

The positive outcome for these 142 felines is all due to partnership and genuine care for the welfare of Polk County animals. 

Go to www.spcaflorida.org to view all SPCA Florida’s animals that are hoping for a loving home.

Thank you to our top investors
