We went to a house today in Worcester where a family has 27 cats. They realize that's way too many in a small apartment and want help finding new homes. To my surprise, the cats were all healthier and much more friendly than I anticipated. In about two hours we cataloged, photographed and put collars on all the cats. We also tested three adult neutered males and two kittens for feline leukemia and FIV. Fortunately, they were negative so the three males - a gray cat named Duke, his father who is a black cat named Sox, and an orange tabby named Tikky - came to our adoption center in Cambridge while the kittens went to a foster home so they can be cared for until they are spayed/neutered.
Next week we will start getting some of the other cats neutered. We can't take all the cats ourselves, so we will also be looking for partner organizations to help place these lovely cats.
