Today I brought my younger siblings to come with me as we dropped off a mother cat and kittens who are in need of a desperate home. As we approached the building, we noticed that it was an extremely small house and not an actually veterinary facility. We approached the front door to find it locked, but I poked my head in the window and saw at least 10 cats sitting around on the desks. I finally found a lady there and asked her if she could take the cats, and she said she could not unless I called the manager. I was already suspicious and I asked if we may come inside and look around. I was shocked, it was utterly filthy and disgusting. There is about 70 cats (from what I asked the woman) in a small house no bigger than my own apartment. I asked if if these cats are soayed and neutered, but as I walked around to see the cats, I saw males who still had their testicles and we saw some females who were in heat. I told my siblings not to touch any of the cats after I found that multiple cats have eye infection and sinus infections. One cat who was a calico female appeared to have green mucus running from her nose. The house reeked of putrid cat urine and many cats who were in cages, the cages themselves were disgusting and had filthy buildup on them. I was really disappointed, as I'm a cat lover and even though their intentions may be good, the cats need to be somewhere else. Its not a proper facility and I'm 100% certain it would not pass a health inspection. I really recommend taking any cats in need of help to a proper facility.
