" 'Those were my babies....' -
animal hoarding is a complex
psychological problem"
by Michael P.McKinney
"Patronek, the
Tufts University professor, also founded the Hoarding of
Animals Research Consortium,
which did a study that called
animal hoarding
“a problem that few people recognize
as an important community concern and even fewer people study.” It
urged more research and better
communication among agencies that respond to animal hoarding “in
order to better identify,
rehabilitate, and monitor hoarders.”

And
Multiply
That by Nine Lives Apiece
by Andy Newman
"Stephanie LaFarge, a
psychologist with the A.S.P.C.A., said that in fact,
there were
many different kinds of cat hoarders.
There is the classic obsessive-compulsive who collects
animals to create a universe she can control; the
commercial breeder
whose inventory-control mechanisms go awry; the
once-robust cat owner who becomes infirm or demented and
can no longer herd her brood."

Animal Hoarders - "Every Year there are hundreds of cases of
animal hoarding........................
So how many is too many? Here are three simple rules to start
with. If you can't afford to
take each animal to the vet once a year, if the cost of feeding all of
them properly is an
issue and the waste management is too much to handle, there are too many
pets in the home."
