Would You Take This Woman In?

[Deleted]

Ok was talking with a Woman losing her Job. First off knowing she isn't going to have any pay coming in she is Trapping strays that she has been feeding in the area, getting them Spayed and Neutered, then releasing them.

She is going to be Homeless, could live with Family but she can't have her animals 40 Cats and 25 Dogs. So she turned them down.

Ok I Love my Animals but I try to keep them to a minimum. This woman couldn't understand me being upset about taking care of our Sons Dog.

I have a feeling she may fall under the heading of an animal hoarder. I knew a lady once who was living in a Nissan King Cab with 19 cats - the stench in the canopy (and into the cab, too) was absolutely overpowering....certainly not healthy for either her or the animals.

I love animals, but I would not invite a stranger to live with me, especially not with that many animals. It would wreak havoc on my small farmstead - just keeping my chickens safe from that many potential hunters would be difficult.

Was she asking you to take her in?

No, she really has problems. You don't need her problems, you don't need all those animals to support. I would not let someone I didn't know well move in, and if my DH let someone without my agreeing there would be serious problems. I love animals, but 40 cats and 25 dogs with no income ? Something is really wrong.

Do everything possible to help her find another job so she can keep supporting the animals

Absolutely not!  Something is wrong.  Hook her up with your Church or other agency.  Don't think anyone is going to help her, till amount of animals are reduced.  If she stays there, she'll probably consider that a permanent home; you'll have a lot of trouble getting her to move out.

Call HS or ASPCA. They deal with this all the time.
