British Columbia, Canada – A man with good intentions got in over his head while trying to care for unwanted cats in his community. According to the B.C. SPCA, the owner of the cats has stated that he began taking in strays, and then the cats started to multiply, resulting in an overwhelming situation.

Bruce Robinson, the cats’ owner, tells CBC News, “I made a bad decision. I thought I could handle the cats.” Explaining that people started dropping off their pets during the Covid-19 pandemic and the felines started to reproduce. Robinson did not have the funds to spay and neuter the cats and they quickly began having litter after litter of kittens.

Despite the overwhelming number of cats in Robinson’s care, they appeared to be friendly and healthy. In a press release, the agency states:

“When we initially attended, our teams were quite surprised to see how well the animals have been taken care of, all things considered, but without a quick intervention the chance of their welfare suffering is very high. The cats mostly appear to be in good shape and seem quite social.”

Charges against the man are not expected and he is the one who reached out to the animal welfare agency for help.

BC SPCA is caring for approximately 200 cats from Robinson’s home. You can find the agency’s Facebook page at this link.
