I need to check the facts on this, but the allegation is yet another hoarder bust has occurred in the West Valley with 40 cats seized. Ten were relinquished to the West Valley shelter and all 10 are supposed to be killed just 5 days later.

I got a call from West Valley the other day regarding the fact that a hoarding situation had been raided and 40 cats were taken to West Valley shelter ( Chatsworth, CA) Christine, one of the managers there who is super nice and reasonable was nice enough to let me know 30 of the cats were re-claimed and re distrubuted to foster homes that the supposed hoarder had found ( i do have to commend her on that) However, the lady was forced to surrender ten cats to the shelter. they are all ages, from baby to adult, mostly tabbies. I am 99% sure that she had so many cats bc she did NOT spay/neuter and her adult cats kept having babies. ALL OF THESE CATS HAVE TO BE RELATED. THEY ALL LOOK RELATED. (except WaWa the siamese) Larry, the new hope coordinator there says a few of them have some upper respiratory ( kitty colds) and a few are very scared ( but these cats are all related, so despite what this shelter might be saying,these are NOT ferals, or else all of them would be, and they are NOT.) Plus, they were owned for a long time by someone.
Larry says the shelter vet will put them down most likely tomorrow ( tuesday) or wednesday. Yes, all 10! I told him they were not on new hope yet nor the redlist, and i didnt thinkt his was fair. He said that they might go on new hope for one day ( but probably not.) as of now, still not on new hope. He told me this morning they need OUT ASAP. ='( I'm very distraught.
If anyone can help ANY of them, it would be a miracle....I personally dont undertsand why they are putting them down,t hey are NOT overcrowded and barely gave them any time, as a rescuer, this offends me....but it isn't my choice...i just have an opinion which i'm entitled to.
Here is the info of the very big family of ten cats surrendered: West Valley Shelter- 818-756-9325
