The Beaver County Humane Society released the following on Facebook in regards to an abandoned cat that was discovered near the Dollar General in New Brighton:  

(Center Twp, PA) Beaver County Humane Society seeks the public’s help after a neglected cat was found in a dumpster near the Dollar General in New Brighton. The male cat is estimated to be between two- and three-years-old.

“The cat was found by a good Samaritan who brought him to us for medical evaluation,” Wendi Stafford, humane society police officer at BCHS, said. “We determined that while the cat doesn’t seem to have any obvious outward injuries, he was suffering greatly from neglect.”
The tabby cat was found in a worn and filthy cat carrier much too small for his size and with two empty food and water bowls. He was covered in his own feces and urine, which was found all over the carrier. It was clear the cat had been abandoned in the carrier for quite a while.
The cat is undergoing evaluation and treatment by our medical team, and we’re committed to providing him with everything he needs to recover. After experiencing such unimaginable trauma, we know that preparing him for an eventual adoption into a loving forever home may be challenging. We urge anyone who has information about this cat or who may have dumped him to contact our Humane Investigations department at 724-775-5801 ext. 123.
Beaver County Humane Society is committed to making a difference in the lives of cats and dogs that are neglected, abused, or abandoned by the people they trust. Thanks to the incredibly generous communities supporting our mission, we can help provide our animals with the second chance they deserve.
