(15,210 posts)Eight of fourteen cats are from the neighborhood cat hoarder who died. He and his brotherwho is now in care with dementiahad twelve cats in deplorable conditions. Im working on getting them rehomed. Are you, by any chance, in the Pittsburgh area and in need of a cat?

(7,108 posts)So far they've gotten 2 free benches made from the materials they collected, and they're still doing it.
You might want to have your local library, senior center, school, or other organization look into doing the same.
