The Asian leopard cats were placed in sanctuaries while the Bengals were placed into new homes.

Back in March, at the same property, Houston SPCA said they rescued 19 exotic cats, including one litter of Bengal kittens after they were discovered in deplorable living conditions. They were treated for gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases at the Houston SPCA.

In Harris County, the Houston SPCA’s 11-member animal cruelty investigations team partners with Harris County Pct. 1 Constable’s Office and other law enforcement agencies to combat animal cruelty. They also work with law enforcement agencies across nine surrounding counties, rescuing victims of animal cruelty across the region.
