Warning about a cat-collector

[jenluckenbach]

I have never posted a message like this before, but it was forwarded to me from the rescue organization i foster for. These people are bad news! They posed as a rescue organizations and were recently raided by the SPCA and over 350 animals, mostly cats, were seized due to neglect and other forms of abuse. They believe these people are trying to get more animals in new locations. Here is the e-mail

Subject: Warning - Linda Favre AKA:Linda Mills and Ernie Mills Still Trying
to Obtain Animals



This is the person with the 368 cats that were seized in MD. recently.


Please forward and cross-post widely.


Many of you have seen this warning already, but due to recent intelligence
that has been received by investigators, please be on the lookout for Linda
Favre (aka Linda Mills) and her husband Ernie Mills, who are apparently
still obtaining animals even while there is a pending investigation against
them (and Chubber's Rescue of Denton Maryland) for one of the largest
hoarding cases ever reported in the U.S. Hundreds of dead animals were
found at Favre's home in Maryland, and she is believed to have at least one
other residence where she is keeping other animals, possibly in Colorado or
Delaware.


Most recently, Linda Mills/Favre has been reported to be in Tennesee, where
she has obtained at least ten cats from unsuspecting individuals and
shelters. Rescuers are urged to take a minute to PLEASE email their local
media stations to see if they can post this announcement, since it is
likely that Mills/Favre is getting animals from individuals rather than
from shelters or rescues.


Unfortunately, there is no centralized body for investigation of such
crimes, so it is up to local rescuers to be alert and warn their region's
media outlets.


For information on this case, please view the Web site below.

I feel like crying, those poor cats.

I keep telling myself that these horders are not really animal people, they are ill people, who *think* they need animals.

My family think I am weird, having 2 cats (They don't know about Milo yet) at least my pets are loved, cared for and healthy.

RIP Kitty cats.

This really makes me mad to know that people like this exist in the world. I sure hope that someone will catch them and arrest them. All the poor kitties please RIP.

Oh no, I sure hope Kim sees this seeing as she is in Tennesse and these people might try and get some of her kitties.

Thanks, Jen. It's just so sad that people do this.
