In my National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) group, we have two members who are hoarders. They hoard stuff plus "resuce" cats, which means that they have 25-30 cats living in the house. Now I love cats but those cats have peed and pooped everywhere and destroyed stuff so it is disgusting. Neither of them recognize this is an issue but would blame the other if they did recognize the problem. When I know they have kittens, I do provide kitten chow for mama and babies so they have good start. I do know they need help b/c at Thanksgiving time we gave them a turkey but they had to empty the freezer of dead cats before they could accept the gift. They had kept the cats in the freezer so they didn't rot before they could be buried. This is true in case you're wondering whether I made it up.
