Two teenagers have been charged in connection with a burglary at a cat sanctuary in Neath Port Talbot.
Three cats from Ty Nant sanctuary in Cymmer were found dead while another three were later found unharmed after a break-in on Saturday.
Two males, aged 15 and 18, have been charged with burglary and criminal damage.
The man appears at Swansea Magistrates' Court on Monday and the boy will appear at Swansea Youth Court on 11 August.
Three dead cats were found mutilated following the break-in.
A post on the sanctuary's Facebook page said three cats were found in a cage in a ditch on Sunday and have been safely returned to the centre. Six are still missing.
A fundraising website set up for the sanctuary has raised more than £9,000 since Saturday.
A sanctuary volunteer posted on the centre's Facebook page saying: "The injuries they had sustained has left all of us heartbroken and angry.
"There are still cats that are unaccounted for and we hope that they will somehow be found and returned safely."
