The Animal Project NYC is being challenged with a near-impossible task this week, attempting to find homes for more than a dozen cats by Thursday, Jan. 23. A Bronx woman had been hoarding the cats for years, keeping them in single cages. Her husband determined it was time to let them go. The couple agreed to release the cats into the street if they don’t find good homes by Thursday. After a neighbor had overheard the plan, they called local animal adoption centers to find suitable homes for them.
The Animal Project NYC has offered to vaccinate and fix all the cats for free before Thursday through rescue donations. The organization hopes to find homes for the felines quickly and calls shelters and rescues a “last resort.” Fortunately, many of the cats are healthy and have not suffered abuse from their owners.
