Recently in San Antonio, TX...a Siamese breeder died. This person had no family and few friends. She left behind over 200 cats in her small home. It was some time before anyone realized she was gone.

If anyone out there can foster...please PM me and I will get you in contact with the people coordinating the rescue of these cats. Tonja Pfister...the wonderful director of Texas Siamese Rescue has offered to take 50-60 cats. This is so wonderful b/c her facility only holds 80 cats and I know she has been very full recently! If you can't foster, please pass along this information to anyone looking for a pet quality cat!

There are only a few posted right now. Also updates 'from the field' on the condition of the cats and the progress we are making. Some of it is a bit graphic...just be forewarned. Some of the cats are just skin and bones. This is a truly horrible situation. Thank God we can get them out of there.

Oh, i felt my heart crunching into a tiny ball when i read this.

i forwarded this to California Siamese Rescue. i hope we can help out as well.

Thanks!

p.s. i will be praying for the kitties. i feel sad that a cat lover has passed away, and i feel for the kitties she left behind :-(

Thanks for your prayers. These cats really need them. Unfortunately their previous owner was abusing them. We're not sure how many of these cats will be adoptable due to the trama they have endured. They are certainly too sick to travel any distance at this time. Please check the link above for updates on this situation.

Oh, you can also read these recent news reports:
