I have asked my vet to "tak" t me if he thinks I am becoming a hoarder. I wish
I had a mllion dollars, I would have such a rescue place for all animals, but
until then, I feel that my limit is 7 cats both fnancially and physically.

I agree. PETA does not have too good a record themselves. This man simply got
in over his head and did not know how to solve the problem. I also agree about
those who tortue. There was a man in the St. Louis area who adopted puppies
and kittens and then trtured them to death. He kept them a

tat the "trusted" person will leave a door open too long and oe or more will
make their escape. Once they are out, they wll never return to a stranger.
Best thing is to have a friend, someone the cats know come and
I rescued 26 cats from a hoarder in an apt here. Most were fixed. Some even had
had extensive medical procedures in the past with lengthy vet records. The
problem with hoarding is that people start with good intentions, but don't know
when to stop. I know she loved the cats, she couldn't stop ta
Oh yes Heather! Couldn't agree more..a few tortured pets don't attract as much
media as a suposedly haven gone bad..not a thought abt the person and why. So a
stereotype is created and thast what the media exploits w/o giving a chance to
the erso to speak for themselves.
Besides a story of this
We have so many horror stories on our DNA (Do Not Adopt) list, it's
sickening! These people get away with torture, murder, and nothing happens
to them. Sometimes cases like this are hyped by the media, to seem worse
than they really are. But where are the people who could help when it is
needed? N
The problem is, if a hoarder does not get mental treatment, they will do it
again. If there is public record of their crimes it makes it easier for good
rescues to identify them.
I do agree cruelty charges should be great for those torturing animals.

When I first saw a video about this ranch a few years ago, I wondered how
anyone could possible keep track of and care for so many cats, especially
when there's absolutely no control over them, in all those little houses (no
matter how cute they are), no central feeding place, etc. I am not really
One of the related, inner struggles I have with such cases are, the cruelty
charges made to those with "good intentions" (which I do believe existed
here) will likely stick, yet every day sick individuals who purposely
torture and maim cats and dogs get off very easily even with much
evidence. I r

The people I'm talking about did spay/neuter & had vet references. They had
good intentions, but the hoarding mentality took over & got out of hand.

Sadly, there may be some, but I have yet to come across a “rescuer/hoarder” in
the 20 years of being involved in cat rescue in Southern CT. There are
probably some hoarder types; a typical symptom would be someone who doesn’t
spay/neuter nor provides veterinary care….therefore, they may not be
I don't know the full story of the woman in CT, so I can't comment on that, but
I've seen people who are heads of rescue organizations who are hoarders. Just
because someone has a title does not mean they are OK.

It's very sad and unfortunate when someone with really good intentions
allows things to go so wrong, doesn't ask for help. But, to be fair, maybe
help that was asked for but never materialized..I know how people can be.
This also gives other groups a bad name.
I have MANY cats, but if donations d
Caboodle was one of my FB friends..I thought/read someplace there was help at
CR. No way one person can cope with that many..many times hoarders do fool the
authorities and the public, I've seen it hapen..lets face it; we, even if all
we do is take care of the animals, have more complicated live
