Seventy-eight lives are safe today.
But the conditions they were living in before are difficult to comprehend.
When our Animal Law Enforcement team arrived at a home in Lancaster County yesterday, they were met with overwhelming heat, dangerously high ammonia levels, and rooms filled with waste, debris, and trash stacked from floor to ceiling.
The air was harsh, but officers spent hours working through those physically demanding conditions to ensure every animal could be found and brought to safety.
Hidden throughout the home were 78 Ragdoll cats and kittens.
Some were frightened. Some were sick. All were living in conditions no animal should ever have to endure.
With the assistance of the Lancaster Township Police Department, our team carefully removed every cat from the property.
Today, they are receiving forensic examinations, medical care, nutritious food, clean bedding, and something many of them may not have experienced in a very long time - relief.
They are not available for adoption at this time, but soon so many lives will have a chance at a brighter future in those forever, loving homes.
This June, the Pennsylvania SPCA turns 159 years old. Since 1867, we have been showing up for animals in the hardest conditions, on the hardest days. If you'd like to help us continue that legacy, there's no better way than helping these 78 cats right now. Our Day of Giving is June 22, but these animals need care today.
Please consider donating towards their care now.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg.
The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early ’90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards.
On June 23, 1984, a national TV audience watched Sandberg hit a pair of game-tying home runs in the 9th and 10th innings off Cardinals closer and future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter. Part of a magical Cubs Postseason run, the game is forever remembered in Chicago as “The Sandberg Game.” He went on to win the 1984 NL MVP Award.
Over 16 seasons, Sandberg slugged 282 home runs, 277 of which were as a second baseman, then a Major League record. He hit 25+ homers five times and stole 30+ bases five times.
Sandberg made his Major League debut with the Phillies in 1981 and later managed them for parts of three seasons.
On June 23, 2024, the 40th anniversary of his iconic moment, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Sandberg outside Wrigley Field.
Sandberg bravely battled cancer the last two years. He was 65.
In case you missed it on Marquee. Here is Sammy Sosa hitting HR’s #61 & #62 vs Milwaukee. Still gives me goosebumps. The Summer of ‘98 was special. Wrigley hasn’t rocked like this in quite awhile. #SammySosa
This year, I look forward to signing legislation that will allow every New Jerseyan to obtain mobile driver’s licenses and IDs, accessible from their smartphone. 📱🪪

Hands down the greatest commercial ever created during the SuperBowl. This was my childhood wrapped neatly into a 60-second commercial. How many characters can you spot?
