What an appalling situation.

Jen,

Call the media NOW!!! Tell them the situation. Call every newspaper and tv station you can. That situation is horrible! Call every rescue organization and shelter there and in surrounding areas. 67 cats?? Holy $hit!!!

And if members from all the rescues and elsewhere can show up there...the media will LOVE that. Even your local stations will know their affiliates in that area.

What's the town - Donna, do you know?

This is the most recent that I heard (via email)

Don't panic. We have reached the end. The woman said she had 67 cats, but there weren't 67 running around the neighborhood.

The neighbors have tried calling the local municipalities. They keep passing this off on the landlord. They are going to try again.


I have not heard from everyone involved yet, but it may not be quite as bad as rumored.

Oh, yes . . . you must get the media involved/aware of this . . . I see cat hoarding stories on the nightly news often (unfortunately) so it is to the cats' benefit if their plight can be televised. Hopefully, as you say, it is not as MANY cats as originally thought in such a quandry, but still the rescue organizations will need all the help and foster homes a TV spot just might bring forth. I hope they will be rescued and that people will open their eyes to the absolute necessity of spaying/neutering. Keep up the excellent vigilance, Jen!
