A woman called South Bend police to report a box full of cats. The woman said she was on a walk with her dog when she made the discovery.
Police posted a video to social media showing the officers respond and react to the box.
"Oh wow! This is more than just a litter," one of the officers says.
He counted a total of 15 cats stacked inside a carboard box in the middle of a field.
South Bend Animal Resource Center responded and took the cats for evaluation.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
