Coats, NC, Harnett county: Owner lost home, 9 Cats left outside to survive in crates!

This photo says it all - 9 cats left outside in crates. They can't survive in these conditions. Please help in whatever way you can.... crosspost, share, foster, adopt...

*From Joan: I was contacted on FB about these cats in Coats, NC which is in Harnett county. A lady stumbled upon them and found out  that the person that owns them recently lost her home. The cats have been put outside in crates and as you can see the conditions are terrible.  With all this rain, I have no idea how they are doing now. The contact person that found them is Mindy listed in the post. There is no more information than what you see.  Does anyone have a contact in Harnett county that can call her? These cats are doomed if they go to Harnett county shelter. I am at a loss on what to do since I don't have any contacts in Harnett county.
