UPDATE: 11 of 28 'hoarder case' cats ready for adoption

SCOTIA -- Eleven male cats of the 28 total left at the Animal Protective Foundation in what they’re calling a case of hoarding are now available for adoption.

The female "Pumpkin Patch Cats" will be spayed and put up for adoption next week.

The adult cats are $37.50 and kittens are $50.

The most recent influx of cats means there are more than 100 in total at the shelter and 150 total animals.

 


 

SCOTIA -- Some of the 28 “Pumpkin Patch Cats” who were dropped off Wednesday at the Animal Protective Foundation will be up for adoption as early as Friday, according to the group.

The shelter is now beyond maximum capacity and looking for homes for these and other cats.

SCOTIA -- The Animal Protective Foundation now has 28 extra cats to care for after a homeowner dropped off an evicted tenant's animals at the shelter Wednesday afternoon. 

The look-alike cats were dropped off in boxes on the lawn of the shelter by a man who'd evicted his tenant, according to Marguerite Pearson at APF. It was unclear how long they'd been in the boxes or on the lawn when APF workers found them.

The woman who owned the cats did show up at the shelter at about 2 p.m. to formally give them over, said Pearson.

The cats are now being treated for fleas and other conditions.
