www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-08-12-hoarding-catsStory at-a-glance Shelter environments are very difficult for cats, and especially kitties who are fearful or under socialized, such as those taken from hoarding situations A graduate student at the University of British Columbia developed a program to help rehabilitate cats rescued from hoarders that involves the temporary use of anti-anxiety medication coupled with behavior modification Of the 34 cats in the program, 32 were successfully rehabbed and found new homes; the remaining two cats were deemed still too fearful of people after medication and behavior modification, and sadly, were euthanized It’s possible the lives of those two cats, along with many other kitties determined to be unadoptable, could be spared through working cat programs like the one run by the Arizona Humane Society My notes: It's sad that there are hoarders period but of animals, it's beyond sad. They think they are doing the right thing but it's an addiction really.

Hoarding is an addiction but such a disservice to your animals.

Yeah, it's an addiction. They keep on getting more and more animals. Family and friends should help them out.
