Authorities investigate Furget Me Not Purebred Cat Rescue after seizing hundreds of cats
Authorities executing search warrants on September 21 seized 405 living cats and recovered 119 cremated remains from properties tied to Furget Me Not Purebred Cat Rescue, according to the Inland Valley Humane Society & SPCA. Officials also reported finding dead cats in a freezer and yard and said some living animals appeared sick or malnourished. The operation remains an animal-welfare investigation; the reporting did not identify arrests or criminal charges.

Donor relevance
Why this matters
The seizure removed nearly the entire reported animal population from the rescue's control and raises urgent questions about animal safety, veterinary care, capacity and whether the charity can continue operating.
Attribution
Who reported or established this
The animal counts and reported conditions were attributed to Inland Valley Humane Society & SPCA president and CEO Nikole Bresciani, Upland police and authorities involved in executing the warrants. The Los Angeles Times connected the searched properties to the charity through tax and property records.
