ARF is trying to assist financially with this case as we do not have anywhere to put these animals. There are now several people involved in trying to find a remedy for this horrible case. The person who is asking for help is the Corregidora of Volcan, Mariana Escudero. It is believed that the woman who is “hoarding” these animals may be mentally ill.
30 cats (yes, 30) and one adult dog and one puppy have been found at a residence in Volcan. All of the animals are tied up as you can see in the pictures.
There was also a closed cardboard box found with 10 kittens and no food or water. They have now been removed.
We are trying to raise funds to get the cats tested for Feline Leukemia, as they cannot be placed with healthy cats if they are infected. Also, funds are needed to spay/neuter and feed all of these animals until homes can be found.

Daniel & I are donating. I think Boquete should get those precious animals the help they need!
Many people are helping. The dogs and all the cats are going to be removed from the property. Most of the cats will be going to Judy Odom. She could use donations of money and cat food. This will be quite a strain for her.
Heidi at Mike's Global Grill is also accepting donations for us. She will have a box/can set up if she is not there.
