Carrier 'Full Of Adult Cats' Left At East Haven Animal Shelter, Staff Hope To ID Person

EAST HAVEN, CT — As an East Haven Animal Shelter officer was at a local vet with an injured animal, someone showed up to the shelter and left a carrier "full of adult cats."

Just Sunday, the shelter had posted to Facebook about a small dog "found and/or abandoned in East Haven," that was "in need of immediate medical attention." The dog's injury, according to the vet, "had been like this for several days and unfortunately the damage was bad enough to warrant his eye being removed."

Monday, while an animal control officer was at the vet, a person dumped the box-of-cats outside the front of the shelter.

"We would like to know information on these sweet babies like their names, age, and any history at all. We understand everyone is struggling, but this is not the right way to go about it.," a Facebook post reads.

"The cats are being transported to the vet today for exams and initial vaccines and testing and a courtesy bath due to them having an accident in the carrier," it was noted.

"If you recognize this person or vehicle, please contact the East Haven Animal Shelter directly at 203-468-3249 or let them know to call the shelter so we can go about this the right way," the post reads.

"This now puts us near capacity with cats and we are in need of cat litter and wet adult Fancy Feast," the shelter posted. "We have pinned our Amazon wishlist at the bottom of this post for anyone who would like to donate. Thank you all for your continued support."

Here's the Amazon wish list.
