ANNA Shelter Director Ruth Thompson said while the animals are having their immediate care needs met, some of them are not out of the woods yet.
Thompson said most of the cats have severe dental disease, are loaded with ear mites and parasites, and are underweight, while the horses and cattle face a longer recovery due to damage to their feet which will require care from specialists.
