Hoarding Victims Happy in New Home!



One of the hardest things we deal with as a rescue group is the very serious issue of cat hoarding. Dealing with cats that are psychologically and emotionally traumatized is incredibly difficult, and it can be heartbreaking.

In December of 2008 we rescued a number of cats from a terrible hoarding situation where the owner was known to have issues with addiction and violence. Thanks to some kind and patient foster homes, the cats we rescued from this situation have all gone on to to thrive in loving new homes.

These two lucky rescues are Caspur - the black and white boy with the stunning markings, and Baby the pretty tabby (formerly Lucky and Sweetie), beautiful cats that started out very timid and scared but have now blossomed into loving and active family pets thanks to their awesome foster dad Jerry who took them in and worked with them to overcome their fears, eventually adopting them.

We couldn't have asked for a better outcome for these terrific cats!
