I am posting this here rather than in Cat Rescue because more people read the posts here. If anyone can help or suggest anything else it would be appreciated. Thanks!

An abandoned house was discovered with up to 100 house cats! This is a tragedy that someone left behind for our community. The CENTRE COUNTY SPCA is involved, but does not have the capacity to serve all cats - most of these animals will go to their deaths. Sad, sad, sad.
Shirley Fonda, Donna Herrmann, and Pat Steigerwald, our local community heroines in animal rescue, managed to negotiate time with the SPCA and have begun a rescue operation of their own. Shirley is reporting that such cats are not feral or wild. They are beautiful, friendly, and mostly young house cats. Shirley wrote to me, "As we drove up, cats came from all over to be fed and hopefully petted. They were BEAUTIFUL cats, probably mostly young ones. In the basement, about 50 young cats sat at the three windows, pawing for us to come and get them". Apparently cats poured out of this house when they realized that someone was coming to help! Shirley reported to me that most of the kitties had desperation in their eyes. Garages have been set up with cage after cage, in hopes of rescuing as many as they can.
Please understand that our local animal welfare organizations do what they can and despite your wonderful donations, they remain limited in resources. Thank goodness for Shirley Fonda (and friends), a community heroin devoted to the rescue and education of animal welfare. She cannot do this alone and needs help.
HOW THE COMMUNITY CAN HELP (you can do ANY of the following)
1. Donate money (for vet care).
2. Donate dry food and clumping litter.
3. Donate your time to helping trap the cats.
4. Provide some foster care relief to this effort
5. Adopt.
6. Pass this message on.

From the cat's hearts to yours, thank you for caring! I will update this story.....
