34 Bengal Cats Seized in B.C. After ‘Exceptionally High’ Ammonia Levels Found
- On May 28, 2025, the BC SPCA removed 34 Bengal cats from a breeder’s property in Vernon, B.C., following concerns about the animals’ welfare.
- The seizure followed a public report after a visitor became concerned about the cats' living conditions and alerted the SPCA.
- Officers discovered the cats confined in unsanitary enclosures with heavily soiled litter boxes and exposed to dangerously elevated ammonia levels, resulting in distress and potential respiratory health issues.
- SPCA representatives reported that nearly all the cats were underweight, with some suffering from diarrhea and ringworm, and highlighted that the detected ammonia levels were high enough to cause significant respiratory distress.
- The cats remain in SPCA care receiving medical treatment and stress reduction, but it is unknown when they will be ready for adoption due to their fragile condition.
