Officials with the Plainfield Area Humane Society say an emaciated senior cat was left on the front porch of the shelter Wednesday night.

“Our staff found this poor little guy on the side of our building, shivering and scared for his life,” officials wrote on Facebook.

The cat was brought inside and given some food and warmed with a heating pad.

Officials are looking for the cat’s owner. Anyone who might have information is urged to call the Plainfield Animal Control Department at 908-754-0300.

The cat will eventually be put up for adoption.
