A cat rescue friend learned that a Tennessee woman was living in a trailer without electricity along with 17 intact adult cats.
The woman explained how overwhelmed she was & how her hoarding situation was getting worse because the nearest veterinary hospital to spay/ neuter them was 100 miles away, and her funds were quite limited.
