Fifty-five Siamese cats have been rescued from a household in Croydon, Greater London and placed in the RSPCA’s care.
Officers took the cats to three of the charity’s centres in the area – Leybourne in Kent; Purley, Caterham and District branch in South London; and South Godstone Animal Centre in Surrey.
The RSPCA is now looking for homes for the cats, which included young kittens and pregnant queens.
Inspector Liz Wheeler said: “Multi-cat households can often arise as a result of unneutered cats breeding until a situation becomes out of the owners’ control…
“The hope is that these cats can now be found loving homes and get their second chance at happiness.”
The charity added that the Siamese cats would need a home with adults or families with older children and would need access to the outdoors. Some of them can be rehomed together as they are bonded, while others will be happier to be rehomed on their own.
