Norfolk SPCA pleads with community to not abandon pets outside facility

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Norfolk SPCA is pleading with people who want to surrender pets to bring the animals inside their facility.

The adoption center said, in a social media post, that, recently, they have found abandoned animals outside their facility.

“In the past two days we discovered separately two mothers—one with three neonates and another actively giving birth—along with another kitten, all left in closed boxes by the road near closed areas,” a Facebook post reads.

The animals were found by coincidence, and could’ve fallen victim to side doors and back gates.

The organization states that the negligent act endangers lives and asks people to “consider the consequences.”
