50+ feral cats taken from repeat hoarder in Kansas City


by: Darath Smith



KC Pet Project (KCPP) in Kansas City prepares for the coming storm that tomorrow will bring. Don't be quick to think that we have a cooling front on the way, we aren't so lucky. Unfortunately, June 29th will be a scorcher that will bring over 50 feral cats to KCPP. The cats, ranging in age, are being seized from a repeat "hoarder". Sadly, most of the cats are believed to be feral, un-socialized and potentially, un-adoptable.

By trapping, altering and returning them, KCPP can keep euthanasia numbers down...."  More
