B.
This brings the total number of cats rescued from the shelter to 230. The shelter, which houses an average of 20 cats, is struggling to cope with the influx of animals. The shelter is overwhelmed with the number of cats it’s currently caring for. The shelter is urging people to consider adopting a cat or finding another way to care for their cats if they can’t commit to the long-term responsibility of owning a cat.
They are both feral cats, meaning they were born and raised in the wild. They are now living in a safe and comfortable environment, receiving the necessary medical care and attention. The shelter’s mission is to provide a safe haven for abandoned, neglected, and abused animals.

The shelter then brought in another 30 cats from the same property. Somers-Blonde said she doesn’t believe there are any more cats at the location.
Cats were generally healthy Experts say an animal hoarder often has a desire to rescue an animal or provide for it, even if they’re doing the opposite. It’s likely what happened in this case, Somers-Blonde said. She said the cats that came from the property are friendly, loving and playful. They’re not malnourished, they’re generally healthy and they appear to have been well cared for. But steps weren’t taken to get them vaccinated, de-wormed, flea and tick-treated or spayed or neutered, which is necessary to prevent the colony from continuing to grow.
