(15,261 posts)Eight of fourteen cats are from the neighborhood cat hoarder who died. He and his brother—who is now in care with dementia—had twelve cats in deplorable conditions. I’m working on getting them rehomed. Are you, by any chance, in the Pittsburgh area and in need of a cat?

You might want to have your local library, senior center, school, or other organization look into doing the same.
