Didn't know if this was more apropriate here or in rescue/adoption.
But in light of the recent hoarding posts....

There are NO graphic photos here...just text.

How a Vet or other Animal Care professional can help recognize signs:

The only thing I didn't like was the advice for friends and family members to "build trust" with the hoarder even if they had to temporarily put their ideas of what is proper care away temporarily to be a non threatening person. I would not be able to control myself, I would have to blow the whistle right then and there or would get arrested.

For a moment, I thought you might be posting a link to my "I have 10 cats" posts :ashamed:

Hee Hee....:rotfl:

You know i meant about the evil folks with those poor dachsies. :(

I don't bat an eye at 10, healthy, loved, and happy kitties.
You don't want me to tell the story about the 30 indoor adults + 25 outdoor adults that someone we knew well had in a tiny house. They all lived, but it was still bad. :(
