South Carolina: Police say tenants abandoned two cats to die after moving out of Rock Hill home

SOUTH CAROLINA -- Two people will be charged with animal cruelty after leaving two cats behind when they moved out of a Rock Hill home, according to police.

Officers went to the home in the 1200 block of Shenandoah Circle on Thursday and met with a neighbor, who told them the tenants there had moved out and left two cats behind, according to a police report.

The neighbor said the home had recently been foreclosed on and the tenants “only packed up a few of their items and left.”

Two cats were inside the home, which did not have power or air conditioning, police said. There was a kennel with two empty bowls, and no food or water available to the cats.

York County Animal Control seized the cats. Officers issued warrants for the tenants for ill treatment of animals.

The tenants have not been arrested.
