Report: 18 cats abandoned in Woonsocket apartment

WOONSOCKET -- Eighteen cats have been found abandoned in a Woonsocket apartment, and officials say they think the animals had been left alone for at least five to seven days.

WJAR-TV is reporting that the cats were found at the apartment Tuesday after a neighbor complained to the landlord about a smell in the building.

The Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is trying to find homes for the cats. Officials are also looking for the owner.

SPCA president E.J. Finocchio says the cats have not been spayed or neutered and are in "deplorable condition.''

It's hoping shelters in other towns will be able to take in the cats.
