We were contacted by Thomas's housekeeper who asked us to help with all of the cats at his house. She said that he started off with 4 cats and never spayed/neutered them so the situation quickly got out of hand. We removed a total of 34 cats and kittens from his home. The housekeeper told us that many cats and kittens have died in that house over the years. Many of the cats are inbred and have health issues. It was extremely difficult to breathe while inside Thomas's house due to the buildup of ammonia and feces in the house. We rescued, sterilized, vaccinated, and provided veterinary care to all of the cats in his house. Most of the cats in that house were black cats. Thomas told us not to bring them back and to "get rid of them." It was very difficult to find homes for them all since it was clear he never touched or socialized the black cats. The only cats he "cared" about in that house were the two Siamese cats. Both were extremely sick when we rescued them. They are both still suffering from pneumonia and are on their third round of antibiotics and a nebulizer. Thomas has been harassing us and demanding we give back the two Siamese cats. We told him that they are still very sick and he is insisting that they weren't sick when they left his house. He has shown up to the home of one of our volunteers, and is continuously calling us so we had to block him. He then had someone else call us and send us a message (screenshot is attached in Supporting Evidence). It is to the point now where we have to get the police involved because he will not stop harassing us. This man is clearly not well and should never be allowed to adopt ANY animal.
