Title: Cat Lady hoarding 90 sick, dying, and dead cats View count: 1315 Rating: 4.375 (8 ratings) Description: Cat hoarding results in the death of many animals across the country because of starvation and hygiene. "There were about 90 cats here, and most need to be euthanized, so many were so sick, dead and dying cats around," said Andi Elliott. Andi Elliot with the humane society took graphic pictures of dead cats, sick and dying cats, injured cats, and a rather dirty home. "I picked up a crate and there was a dead cat in there. We boxed up a lot of sick kittens last night," said Andi Elliott. Andi got permission from the family to remove many of the cats from Wendy Barnes home last night in Lewisville. Wendy has since been taken to the hospital for evaluation. "it's appalling. Then when you go in there and actually pick up kittens and all dying in your hands. It's hard to sleep," said Andi Elliott. What's even worse is a different family member Lisa Barnes called the cops this morning claiming trespassing when the humane society returned. The rest of the cats were not taken care of when I left the scene. "Neighbors have the tendency to be quiet about things like this, when a situation goes on like this, not only the animals need help, the person needs help," said Andi Elliott. Help the Humane Society was willing to give, but officer Miller told both me and Andi that if we returned, we'd be arrested for trespassing. "This lady said she was going to take them to the veterinarian and we agreed to meet back here again today, and start working on the rest of them. There is no one here to take care of them, no one to water and feed them. So many are still sick, they need to either be euthanized or big time medical care and it's going to be expensive," said Andi Elliott. Neither Andi or I stepped foot on the Barnes property today, we just watched helplessly from the road unable to do anything more. No charges have been filed against the homeowner Wendy Barnes.
