There was an article about this in Cat Fancy awhile back. It was about "Cat Hoarders". They have all these cats and they think that they are helping all of them and won't give any away. But in reality none of them are well cared for, they aren't eating well or getting medical attention. And usually these cat hoarders don't have enough room to keep them so the living condition get really dirty and gross. It's really sad. I saw one of these cat hoarders on an episode of animal precinct. They kept trying to get the lady to get rid of some of her cats but she wouldn't then when they asked to see any medical records on the cats should couldn't produce any. And none of her cats where spayed or neutered so she just kept adding to her huge population of cats.
