Oh man, this is making me sadder and sadder. These cats came from a hoarder who had about 100 +cats. Can anyone in the Northwest help?!!! If these cats are not placed after a month they are going to be euthanized. Here is some more info for anyone interested in fostering/adoopting:

"I just spoke to a ferret rescuer in Oregon. She is coordinating a major cat
rescue of more than 100 cats, some of which are MAINE COON, two of which
are PERSIAN, a number of which are SIAMESE and longhair Siamese
(BALINESE?), one of which has "kinky fur all over the place" (Selkirk?) ,
several which sound like American Bobtails, and a few of which are MANX.
Any cats not rescued within a month will be put down. The original source
of at least one of the cats, a Persian, (she's still getting information on
the others) was allegedly originally a breeder. The picture of the one
Persian I've seen so far is clearly a purebred and not a mix of any sort.

The cats are all spayed and neutered, many have been FIV/FELV tested
negative but since all haven't been done and there are four separate
populations that run together, most of those tested will need retesting.
The conditions are described as rather good, but the persons who have them
on their farm cannot make ends meet and asked the ferret rescuer for help
to place them. All cats left after a month will be euthanized.

I am sending this email out to all the involved breed rescues and to the
registry lists & Persian lists.
*Persian rescuers* who can help should contact me at one of the two email
addresses below my signature line.
All other breed rescues should have a representative contact
Stephanie Wolfe (edited ) I have the email should anyone need it!

Direct adoptions are welcome but adopters should expect to be screened and
present themselves in person to pick up a cat.

Here is the email I recieved from Stephanie this morning:

"There are about 100 cats that need permanent homes. There are still roughly 40 that need fostering. Right now I have volunteers doing fostering in large groups, which unfortunately means many of these cats are in cramped conditions. I will send you more info on the sweet black kitty tomorrow. If I don't, then please e-mail me and remind me! Things are a bit crazy right now and I have missed an e-mail from time to time!
Thank you!"

So as you can see these cats need help, and quick. If anyone can help please let me know! I am unsure at this time how many fosters I will be taking, but it could be as many as 6.
