Oh my,

People just dont know when to say enough.  I have 32 cats and 7 dogs. I dont know either.  But theres a difference in me and this person. There are cat collectors and there are trash collectors and then theres  sensible and common sense.

All 32 cats are spayed, all are up to date on vacinnes, all have been rescued from various places death row at the local pound. The humane society and then there are those who get dropped off.  But I have the common sense to get them fixed, and keep up witht he litter boxes, and it is not easy, It is very very costly. I would love to take the money I spend a month on vet care and food and litter and spend it on something else but I dont I treat these animals like my children. Whom I have 3. Last trip to the pound was suposed to be 1 dog ended up being 3. I work part time at a large chain resturant, mu husband is an HVAC tech. We live in a modest  home with a very modest income.  My neighbors complain as well, but they dont complain when the cats are ridding the yards of rats and moles, and the sort. I live around people who drive cars worth lots less then mine but they complain.  I would move if I could right now I cant. But rest asured there are people out there who do care, and who really do take care. It is very costly and theres nobody that wants to help nobody hands me anything. But I make sure that everyone has and is taken care of. I rescued a mother cat early this summer who had a litter, by the time I got to her she was already pregnant again. So having the second litter with me, I took her to the vet at exactly 8 weeks and it is a good thing I did, she had a 8 week old mummified fetus still inside her rotting, and she was lucky to be alive. There were no physical signs, th ekittens she did have had a hard time and now it is understood why. But if she would have been left with her previous owner who couldnt remember to feed them and who had never given her vet care she would be dead. This cat is about 8 years old, do you know how many kittens shes likely had? How many they in turn have produced. I heard about her and the owner didnt hesitate to hand her over. So she gave me 9 kids plus herself.  But I love them all, I take care of them all, and I dont need anyone to hold my hand and tell me to change the litter boxes and to take them to the vet. 32 is alot of cats in a residential area, 7 dogs in my backyard is alot of purina dog chow but i do it.  this woman needs to get a clue shes not helping anything, not herself nor the animals. She is a collector, of live animals and collectors should be left to non living non breathing things.  I feel for the animals especually if theres no regular vet check ups and I can only imagine what the house would smeel like. I go a long ways to make sure the yard doesnt get over run and the house doesnt stink. Her nfighbors do have a legit complaint. But theres more then this person out there that is doing this.
