Dear Friends,
When the call came about an eviction about to happen where dozens of animals were being kept in a small apartment in NYC, we knew immediately that this was a hoarding situation, and we knew that we had to reach out and help.
As the situation unfolded, the reality set in that there were possibly upwards of 75-100 animals living in squalid, inhumane conditions literally fighting for survival. This is not uncommon; rather, it is the world of a hoarder.
At the end of a long and arduous day, Kent Animal Shelter, assisted by several other organizations and rescue groups, recovered over 100 animals, many quivering in fear, cowering in corners, undernourished and suffering from a multitude of afflictions.
Animal collectors rarely notice that the animals are loosing weight or suffering from disease. People young and old from all walks of life and tax brackets can become "collectors." Overwhelmed and in denial about this mental malady, they continue to stockpile animals living in urine and feces often with dead animals underfoot. The animals suffer physically and mentally in an unnatural and inhumane environment sometimes for years. Generally, hoarders keep their living quarters "off limits" to outsiders for obvious reasons.
Pictured here are some of the victims of the rescue that are receiving medical care, nutrition and lots of love from the staff at the Kent Animal Shelter.
    They will have a second chance at life, a normal life where they can love and be loved by their new families.
Please donate now to help provide the care necessary for these misfortunate animals! At Kent, we know there is a home for every dog out there. Please help us support abused, neglected, homeless and other misfortunate animals. Please make a donation today!
How Your Donation Makes A Difference
Your monthly gift of just $20.00 can provide vaccine, food and shelter for a homeless animal until a forever home is found.
