This is sickening and disgusting. They can't take the animals because they don't have a search warrant? So they are just going to leave them there to die or what. What about the cats in the cages? I can't understand why this went on this long. The woman is 87 and should not have had all these animals. Her family should have intervened on this a long time ago. I hope something is done soon. Noted with disgust. Thanks Kathy. Please keep us updated on this.

this is freaking nasty. you know when a hoarder is elderly they mean well but when there not they are just monsters and need the booke throwed at them, why is that. and where is this old womans family? you know she has to have family and i am sure they had to know of this and if they did then they are partley to bame, am i right. you know my granma in connecticut is a hoarder, she sets up traps at dumpsters catches them and brings them home. her home is so nasty that i have 2 kids and my brother has 2 kids the oldest of his being 18 shes never seen cause of this, we have even turned her in and they tell us that as long as she's feeding them theres nothing they can do, i think its because shes old. the law doesn't apply to everybody and i'm sure you guys know this. if anybody thinks they can get action against my own granma and me be left anonymous i would sure apprectiate it. man just thinking about her house makes me sick.
