An animal welfare group rescued 23 kittens from a property in the Port Renfrew area on Saturday.
The cats were taken into care after they were discovered locked up in a house without food or water.
“We did not have the option of refusing to help in this hoarding situation,” said Margarita Dominguez, founder of the Sooke Animal Food and Rescue Society (SAFARS).
