Buzz About Sacramento: Sacramento: What is happening Around You?

The animal shelter manager of Sacramento, Penny Cistaro, has some good news for all the animal lovers out there. A whooping 77 cats were rescued from alleged animal hoarders in south Sacramento. Many of these cats have been driven to death because of medical and behavioral problems. Nine cats are estimated to be available for adoption while two of these cats found their shelter with a rescue group.

Paul and Kathy Franco, who are the owners, are now being charged with animal cruelty and are expected to appear before the court on Wednesday. This was revealed by Shelly Orio, who is the spokeswoman for Sacramento County District Attorney Jan Scully.

Early October proved to be disastrous for the Franco family who refused to let the shelter workers and the SWAT team inside. But the authorities quickly condemned Franco’s residence and the distressed cats were shipped to the city shelter.

Cistaro was reported to quote that the cats were in extremely unfavorable conditions and she hoped to find them a decent home before Christmas. The bad living conditions had resulted in respiratory disorders and other such severe health problems in the rescued cats. A few other cats were found to be unfit for adoption because of their anti - social conditions.

Franco family now has the responsibility of reimbursing the medical and boarding expenses of their cats. It is yet to be finalized but the boarding charges are zeroed on $10 for every cat, each day.

The cats that are available for adoption are of varying colors: brown, black, tortoiseshell and sandy brown. They are reported to be healthy and friendly. Cistaro and her team have been working hard to keep these cats hale and healthy and they welcome any adopters who could give these cats a second home. There are about a dozen cats from other previous hoarding cases that are in search of a good home.

Dia Goode and her team of cat rescuers have been trying hard to find homes for over 130 cats that were rescued at Meadowview house and are largely successful. She was displeased with the handling of Franco case. She found it appalling and feels that such situations must be resolved in a positive manner that will prove beneficial to both the cats and their owners.

The city shelter is making its best efforts in finding new homes for these cats, if you are an animal lover and are looking for pets then you could contact the shelter home for adoption immediately.
