A New Bedford woman is facing animal cruelty charges after police discovered two dead cats inside a sweltering car on Tuesday.

Police and Animal Control officers responded to a grocery store on Rockdale Avenue for a report of animals trapped in a vehicle.

They noticed a black cat moving inside, as well as an “overwhelming foul odor” coming from the car. The temperature inside reportedly reached 106 degrees in the front and 131 in the back.
