Hey the important thing is getitng these poor animals taken care of. But a few words about the web title of this article'-- the word "amount" is coming into wrong use where the word "number" of should be. This is a "number" of cats not an "amount of cats""--and a funny grammatical error creeping into broader usage all the time:a·mount   /əˈmaʊnt/ Show Spelled[uh-mount] Show IPA
noun
1. the sum total of two or more quantities or sums; aggregate.
2. the sum of the principal and interest of a loan.
3. quantity; measure: a great amount of resistance.
4. the full effect, value, or significance.

As much as I love animals, and have a fascination with hoarder's, I really don't think that this much attention should be given to such a petty crime, we have bigger criminals to deal with like murderer's and child molester's. It is such a shame that the police had to take time out of their work schedule to deal with this when real criminal's are out there committing hideous crimes.

My boss once asked me what my ultimate goal in life was, I told him I wanted to be an old lady of 90 with purple hair and 40 cats.LOL, but seriously, no one needs that many cats no matter how wonderful they are.

I didn't see in the article the surprising job the hoarder had. Thanks for the bait and switch, AOL.

(yes I know it said she volunteered at an animal shelter, but that is neither a job nor was it surprising)

The house down the street from me was owned by a "cat lady." I never saw it then, having moved into the neighborhood after the house was remodeled. The workmen had to wear masks for the odor! Unfortunately the other neighbors say the house wasn't really repaired, just covered over (like the siding hides damage), so I am glad I didn't buy it! But, the new owner has uncovered at least 20 cat skeletons so far in his yard!

often when a house has that strong ammonia/urine smell----meth is being cooked----and that's dangerous even at three doors down

my neighbors house smells like cat piss when the wind blows and i live 3 doors down . i call the board of health and they never do any thing about the house looks like it needs to be condemned and the people living there look like there from deliverance

Hoarding is a mental illness. There are various kinds of hoarding, including animal hoarding. She was probably working at an animal shelter to support her hoarding addiction.
