A Bronx woman has hoarded more than a dozen cats, which are at risk of being abandoned by her husband. Animal Project NYC has stepped in to help and is organizing efforts to find homes for the cats. Rescuer Tiff Winton emphasizes the hardships the cats face if abandoned, and the need for spaying/neutering, as they could breed rapidly. A week-long reprieve has been granted before possible eviction, and while some placements have been made, many cats remain unclaimed. Shelters are considered a last resort due to overcrowding and health risks for the animals.
"Life on the streets for a cat is very hard. They’re fighting for their lives every day. It’s cold and other cats are beating them up..."
"The shelters are full to the brim all the time. Shelters are great and they do great work... but it’s an enclosed environment, and cats get sick in the shelter."
