550 Cat Adoption Event

In June, The Humane Society of the United States assisted in the rescue of 700 cats from a hoarding situation in Alachua County. This weekend, after overseeing the cats' care for nearly three months, we held a large-scale adoption event.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judgedby the way its animals are treated..........Ghandi

This is such great news it brought tears to my eyes.

But what happened to the OTHER 150 + cats ?

I hope they weren't all put down :(

Watching these videos makes me wish I lived in a country where animals have proper rights. I wish I could go to one of these adoption events. What you do is amazing :)

@AnimalHolocaust Or some of the others could have been to sick had had to be put down :'(

@paulfbest i believe these were cats that were rescued from a hoarding situation, living in squalor. oh wait, let me dumb that down a bit.

these cats were saved from someone who could not even provide basic care. if not for the event, they would have probably been transported to local, and non-local shelters anyways.

so, shut the front door.

seemingly helpless cats sure have a lot of human allies, don't they. To me personally, joining the HSUS has been one of the most self-satisfying things I've ever done.

@paulfbest Why not try a third time to spell "feral" correctly? What do you propose we do to get rid of the feral cats? Do you like the proposed (voted down) plan by the jackass in Utah to allow people to shoot cats? Poison works, but you might kill other animals. Nobody mixes feral cats with domesticated ones. BTW, if you think a domesticated caged cat is "psychologically dead", I'll introduce you to Allie, Sara, Jake, Batman, and dozens of others who are happily living in their new home
