Hudson Valley SPCA - Orange County

On Monday, April 7th, the Hudson Valley SPCA's Humane Law Enforcement team led the rescue of 64 cats from a hoarding situation in Westtown, NY. The owner kept the cats in a broken-down school bus loaded with feces, rotting food, and the decaying corpses of furry friends who had passed.

Through the filth and stench, our volunteers worked valiantly to capture each of these animals and deliver them to our facility in New Windsor. There, each has been receiving healthy food, clean water, and of course, much-needed medical care.

The average cost of providing a cat with medical care and vaccines between arrival at the shelter and adoption is $300. That translates into nearly $20,000 for this needy crew! And that does not include food or litter!

Since we are not funded by the ASPCA or any other organizations or government agencies, your help is desperately needed so that we can continue our tireless work.

We hope we can count on you to help provide these deserving creatures with a better life!

CASE BACKGROUND

This is by far the most complicated rescue the Hudson Valley SPCA has done to date. These cats came from a New York City apartment where the woman was evicted. At that time she had over 100 cats and stuffed them all in a bus using a moving company and took off.

The HVSPCA recently located her and acted swiftly to remove these cats from what was clearly a death sentence. The 100 cats she had is, sadly down to 64 cats now. One can only imagine the fate of the others.

The greatest challenge of this rescue is the horrific medical condition that so many of these cats are in. We are taking them to the vet in groups and getting their multiple health issues addressed. As of now many of them will need to be treated up to and more than 40 days with multiple medications for upper respiratory, deep ear infections, open wounds, etc.

We desperately need the help as we are not funded by anyone, anywhere. Even $5 helps get their nails trimmed, many of which were growing into their pads.

In order to prevent cross-contamination, we desperately need pooper scoopers, disposable kitty litter pans, Purina cat food, canned food, lots of blankets and towels, metal water bowls, vaporizers, and pine litter from Tractor Supply.

All of these cats have a chance to live the life they have always deserved but we really cannot do it without your help. We are in desperate need of donations!!

Hi. I met Harvey on 12/6/24. I'd never met him before, but he climbed up my jacket and wrapped himself around my neck. He was purring and craving TLC, which I happily obliged.

Harvey was adopted & I am glad he found his forever home. I don't know if his adopter(s) need help with the medical bills, so I'm just going to leave this open. ALL funds go to HUDSON VALLEY SPCA, 940 LITTLE BRITAIN RD NEW WINDSOR, NY 12553

Harvey came from a hoarding situation and he was not well taken care of. One of his eyes requires surgical removal. His other eye is cloudy but doesn't need to be removed.

His people failed him miserably, and Harvey shouldn't have to suffer. Too many animals suffer at the hands of humans.

I contacted Chewy.com Rescue Program and was given permission to tag them in my post so their customers could see and perhaps help with donations. I've also reached out to another organization seeking assistance.

Happy new year Harvey!

100% of the money goes straight to the Hudson Valley SPCA specifically for Harvey.

Let's show Harvey how much love so many have for animals.

Thank you so much!♥️

We at the Hudson Valley SPCA are asking for donations for sweet Trevor to obtain a life-saving surgery! Trevor was abused by his previous owners and then abandoned at an NYC shelter. The NYC shelters are in overload and they reached out with a plea to save him to avoid unnecessary euthanasia. We heard this cry for help and agreed to take Trevor. Trevor is doing well in his foster home but needs life-saving surgery to help him eat, drink, and keep him pain-free. Please see the below note from his foster mom for more details on Trevor and his condition:

As many of you may know, shortly before the 2021 holidays I decided to take on a foster pup from the Hudson Valley SPCA for rehabilitation and ended up with the sweetest, most loving little Trevor. Trevor had a rough start to life - being abused and abandoned by his previous owner - and now is in desperate need of surgery.  Trevor has been diagnosed with a cleft pallet, a condition that results from the failure of the roof of the mouth to close during normal development in the womb, thereby leaving a “cleft” in the roof of the mouth. The doctors concluded that Trevor’s cleft is extremely severe and painful as it is unique in the way it extends from the roof of his mouth to behind his lip. As a result, Trevor needs major tooth extractions and oral surgery to keep him comfortable and eating. The procedure he needs is rather difficult and he may end up needing multiple revision surgeries. Unfortunately, this genetic defect has left Trevor with ongoing, chronic sinus infections and battling aspiration pneumonia. Life for him is a constant struggle. Something as simple as eating and drinking is extremely difficult for him. He deserves so much better than this, especially with all he's already been through. I’m personally asking for your help in giving this little guy a second chance at a better life. He is filled with so much life and love and has so much potential. All he wants for the New Year is to feel better so he can have the chance to find the home he deserves - his forever home! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, please share his story and help pass the message along. Any contributions are greatly appreciated by both Trevor and myself! - Jess
