There are many people trying to do their "bit" to help animals in need. Our rescue has found new homes for over 6000 in the last 8 years, and we care for a lot on a daily basis.However, take the case of Mack here, who at the time of writing still needs a new home. We took him in from what we term a "Hoarder". Some people start to take in animals, probably with the best of intentions, but them allow themselves to get overwhelmed. Mack was living in a house with a lot of other animals, underfed, ill-cared for and frightened. There are many hoarders, and often they are not looking for new homes for the animals, merely taking in new ones all the time without the facilities or funds to care for them. Once again, I am sure they started off well-intentioned, but then descended into a world where they and the animals are a community a little like those science-fiction underworld tunnels of squalor.
Mack is now cleaned up and looking for a new home. He is not the first we have taken from such places. A few years ago, we took some cats from a lady in San Diego who had 200 cats in her house ! You can only imagine the conditions.
