If it is Sue you were thinking of, she and her boyfriend run a small rescue out of their home.

I have 7
I have 6 & everyone in my family thinks that I'm nuts.
I could just imagine if had 40... that would really give them something to talk about!
I only have 4. I wish I could have more. Everyone in my family thinks I am nuts too! My husband calls me the crazy cat lady!
We only have two.
I wish I could bring home MANY more, but we only have a two bedroom apartment, which me, my husband, my daughter, and our two furbabies fit into quite nicely. Any more kitties, and I think we'd bust at the seams!! LOL!!
Yeah, you might want to specify permanent members of the fur-family. I'm sure the people who do rescue and work with ferals have a rather largish amount! The most I've ever had at once was 13 when I was a teen-ager, but that was temporary as well since two mom-cats had their litters within a week of each other.
These days it's only ever two at a time
. My sister-in-law, however, has nine I understand although I try not to go over there if at all possible (long story.)

I know of a lady who could top any amount i`ve seen here.
She lives where my Mom lives...is very wealthy and LOVES cats!
I have not met her, but I`ve heard a lot about her form my step sister and have driven by her place.
I understand that she has a few of her own, personal "house kitties", but all the rest are in a big pole barn with a very large outdoor enclosure (So big that the huge old oak tree in the "yard" is not near enough to the barn that the cats can jump to the roof and get away)
I`m told that she has over 200 cats and that the numbers keep growing even tho she tries to find them homes.
Inside they each have their own area with bed, litter box, dishes etc.
She has a quarntee area for new ones till they have had all their vet visits etc...to make sure they are OK to be with other kitties.(She gets lots of "drop offs" from what Im told)
She has other people that she hires to help her with "kitty duties" , which i`m sure must be very time consuming with this many.
Her place looks really nice from the outside and I have every reason to believe that the inside is the same. (I`ve thought about getting her phone # and see if I can visit sometime when I`m up at my Mom`s) I`m told she works with more than 1 area vet to see that everybody gets shots and fixed etc.
She will adopt kitties out...I understand she even has "adoption papers" and if you do not meet her approval you do not get one of her cats! (GOOD FOR HER!)
I love cats...but would not want (nor could I afford) to care for so many....guess she just feels that this is her "life-calling"....and luckily she has the $ for it. I wish there were more people like her!
Just thought you guys might find this story intresting. We all hear about "the crazy cat lady" who hoards cats...but often they are not so cared for as this ladys cats are.

I only have two. My third cat died in July. I would like to get another maybe. My husband is telling me we are too old to get another cat.
I just looked at your profile, expecing to see that you were an 80 year old woman! You are only 5 years older than me and we just adoped 2 Kat-Kids within this last year.
If you are worried about it...find a younger friend or family member who would be willing to take your cat)s) "just in case".
Or adopt an older cat and make all of your lives happier.
I`ve heard too that people woth pets are healtier and usually live longer. (Dunno if it`s true or not...but makes sense to me!)

Back in the 1980s we were up to 30. They were indoor/outdoor and we were more rural. They were all ours and we occasionally adopted out.
