These poor cats were dumped overnight at the gates of a dog walking paddocks.
Staff at Rushton Meadows were shocked to find the cats on their doorstep first thing on Monday (February 9).
Rushton Meadows manager Vicky Townsend told the Northants Telegraph: “On Monday at 6.30am, I found the cats dumped at our main gate.
"Many in a crate but the others in a cardboard box.
"They were dumped on the Sunday evening and it rained all night, causing the box to lose its structure.
"We believe there would have been more cats as the box was empty.”
Vicky said all the cats are being well cared for now, but they are going to need help with covering the cost of vet fees and food.
They have set up an Amazon wish list for anyone wishing to help out with items including food and cat litter.
People can also help by making a donation via PayPal – more than £200 has already been raised to help with the cats’ care.
