The S.P.C.A. responded to the home at 5 Ladd Road on April 19 to remove cats discovered inside the residence by police and firefighters called out for a chimney fire. Including the 17 cats caught on the night of the fire, there have been 42 rescued to date. Though workers from the S.P.C.A. visit the property at least once a day, Sue Bost, the S.P.C.A.'s manager of programs and services, said the job is far from over. She estimates it may take another three months or more to catch all the cats still living on the property. S.P.C.A. Executive Director Lisa Dennison said is crucial in this situation.
People are quick to judge.
Neighbors are a big part of letting us know about cases like this also. The neighbor has been helping us a lot. She has been noticing when the traps are full, sometimes bringing the cats to the shelter and resetting the traps with some yummy food. We can't always be there and with the heat we've been having, she is assuring the cats aren't out too long. Bost and Dennison believe Sultaire's case is one in which there were all good intentions of caring for the cats in the beginning and things got out of control.
