I'm sure you all heard about the "rescue" woman who had 75 cats in her house. The neighbor said she couldn't sit outside on her deck because of the odor coming from the cat house! GROSS! In case you didn't hear, here is a link... http://www.wral.com/news/4090560/detail.html Here is an update on that... http://www.wral.com/news/4104522/detail.html What would possess a woman to think she could possibly care for so many cats? Can you imagine how much the vet bills would run? Nuts.
My point exactly. It was over $100 for my dog to have his yearly boosters yesterday. Even if given a multi-cat discount, I can't imagine the cost of taking that many cats to the vet.
No, she is not nuts. Her heart is just big. Look at the pictures, the cats are sitting on pillows. Animal Control IS NOT pressing charges. Did you know that?? She was rescuing cats that were thrown away or in the process of getting killed. She got over her head, she couldn't find them all homes. You would call her nuts, you don't have a sensitive bone in your body!
well then tell us.........how can anyone in their right mind think that they can take care of 75 cats in their home and think it is sanitary? I mean, the food alone would cost a fortune.
My bones might not be very sensitive, but my nose sure is! "The urine has soaked through the floors and into the ceilings and started to soak into the walls..." GROSS! & NUTS!
Hoarders are sick The woman's motivation, while appearing noble, is irrelevant. Animal hoarding is a symptom of mental illness. It is viewed by the psychiatric community as a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder with a poor prognosis. For more information, see www.tufts.edu/vet/cfa/hoarding/index.html
