> number of cats but was unable to part with any of the
> litters. As a consequence she has become a hoarder and
> potentially has 100 to 150 cats in her house. Although
> this woman is very nice she obviously has some

> treatment. Therefore she can no longer care for her
> cats. The humane societies in Vermont are at full
> capacity at this time and no one can seem to help out
> with this problem.
> I am volunteering my time and resources to help find
> her cats homes. If not, they will all have to be
> euthanized. I personally will be going into the house
> to select out the healthy individuals and make sure
> they are up to date on their vaccines.

> This is a very unfortunate situation but hopefully
> with some good old Yankee Ingenuity (I am Canadian)
> some of these cats can be adopted out to good and
> loving homes. The house they are currently living in
> has been condemned by the Dept. of Health.

> In conclusion, I am seeking help in finding an
> alternative to euthanizing young, healthy cats of an
> unfortunate circumstance. If anyone is interested or
> can help me find homes please e-mail me back at
