Manatee County, FL – An animal cruelty investigation has been opened in Manatee County following the discovery of three abandoned cats, left alongside a road in a metal cage; one of the cats did not survive. On August 5, the Manatee County Animal Welfare Agency said:
On July 29, MCAW officers responded to a report of an abandoned crate on the side of Lena Road. Inside were three cats: two alive but in poor condition, and one deceased. Evidence suggests the surviving cats may have attempted to consume the deceased animal in an effort to stay alive.
The surviving cats are receiving veterinary care at the Bishop Animal Shelter. They are undergoing a slow, medically supervised refeeding process to prevent complications associated with severe starvation. The agency said the cats are “incredibly sweet, friendly, and affectionate” with staff despite the trauma they have endured.
The organization is hopeful that a member of the public will come forward with information about this cruelty case. Anyone with information is asked to reach out to the Manatee County Animal Welfare agency by calling 941-742-5933.

Egregious and heinous animal cruelty deserves much stricter punishments. Animals are not disposable. The US still seems to consider them “things or property” and not sentient beings.
I pray they find the person, but knowing Florida, they do nothing to the person when they do catch them…Remember the guy who was caught hosing down the black cat in a cage and his son was right there watching and learning. They arrested him, never made him tell what happened to that cat and his punishment….he was made to work at the shelter for a a month….
Clearly nothing g was done to punish these sick people!! Something has to change!! Animals deserve better! Humans who intentionally hurt animals should be wiped from the planet!
The monster responsible deserves the same treatment.
Bring back the death penalty for these psychotic abusers
Too much animal cruelty and NOT ENOUGH police attention and then not enough prison for those guilty. These evil doers are not human, they are inflicted by satanic forces. They have psychopath DNA passed down through generations.
