We were asked by the manager of a apartment block “to do something because it was impossible to live like this anymore”, because of a one room apartment in which an old lady had 29 cats in hellish conditions.

After an evaluation visit we realised that we did not have a long term solution and it would have been much easier for us to refuse any involvement, blaming anything: lack of space, time, funds, clear plans, no solutions for the animals or under one’s personal dignity.

Nevertheless, this Sunday morning we went there, to try save the cats and start cleaning the apartment.


All the cats were caught and taken to the clinic, where they were evaluated, treated and spayed. Now we find ourselves in an awful situation: we have 29 souls in our clinic, all cats coming from one single pair, not in their best health, scared, and the last thing we want is to bring them back.

In their names we ask for your help: by 15 March we must find solutions for as many cats as possible, such as: temporary accommodation (in quarantine) or permanent adoption. We ask for help for anyone that could get involved: charities, veterinary practices, shelters, private persons. Unfortunately, they cannot remain in the clinic after Tuesday. ( Bucharest, Romania)

Update: Thanks to an impressive mobilisation on FB and media, almost half of the rescued cats found an adopter (3 cats) or a foster (11 cats) all around the country in less than 2 days. We thank you so much!
There are left 15 other cats that wait their chance. Please don't forget about those either...

It's good you did all you could. It's up to fate now.

I feel terrible but you constantly saying the cats need a solution just makes me want to make a final-solution Hitler joke.

I know these people need mental health support but it's so hard not to be upset at them. Those poor cats. It's just not okay. Not okay.

It's not like there isn't a surplus of cats. Why not just put them down and free up some resources for ones in better shape?

So your a kill shelter....

It appears to be a veterinary clinic, not a shelter; they probably don't have the facilities/personnel to manage that many animals.

Some times euthanasia is the kindest solution.

I have been in hoarding situations before. Thank you for stepping in. It is always a terrible scene

Saw a similar situation in the first season of Hoarders. Most of the cats on that episode had to be euthanized. Hopefully not the case here.

I think I saw that too. They were all sick and feral. So sad

Oh come on, we eat dogs, not cats. Are the Europeans that eat cats believing they are rabbits.

Holy shit, this is horrible. How could bringing them back be an option? In weeks it would be the same situation all over again.

Looks like the lady needs help too. Poor cats. I've seen something similar, when I took care of rescued cats. Never this bad, tho'.

The old lady was also in that hellish situation. What happened to her? I hope everyone gets out ok.

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

I was wondering the same thing.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah she clearly couldn't look after her self for a long time, since the cats all breed from one pair it seems like she started off with two

A group of volunteers will help her with the house , food and money. Don t worry

2/2 then were left to their own devices to bread, none of them look starving, it could have been a lot worse, seems like she kinda tried...
