See some of the most extreme cases of hoarding and their consequences for the people that live in these houses.

"The cats are my family" You don't lock your family in cages, with barely enough room to even turn around. I feel guilty putting my cat in her carrier to walk her to the vet down the road, this is just plain cruelty.

That’s animal abuse! Some one call the animal control so the cats can be taken away ! None of those cats are happy ! They are stressed !

cats in cages. 'but i can hear they're happy'
No, no you're wrong mister.

“This house is not good for a baby”, bruh it’s not good for anyone

[iwantatunasandwich]

Bruh when I saw those cats in the cages i wanted to cry. That’s a prison, and the cats obviously hate it there. Poor kitties :, (

Since their baby was so premature he’ll likely have a nurse come to their home once a week after he’s released from the hospital. The nurse will be a mandated reporter and will definitely notify CPS.

I remember Cat Man. One of the first things the psychologist did was call ASPCA. They did take those cats immediately. Man was naturally upset but sorry, not sorry. Then I had to go do something else so I couldn’t tell you how things ended up.

“you can hear that they’re happy”
cat: *disgruntled meow*
i don’t speak cat but that doesn’t sound like they’re happy.

FYI...the person that the show hired to work with the guys with the cats snitched them out immediately to the ASPCA. They came the same day and took the cats. The older guy was crying like crazy and refused to work with the lady after that. They did eventually clean the house up somewhat.

Dude can barely form a sentence and he's havin his "first" baby. Keep an eye on this house, child services

[NotoriousBroadcasts]

I have lived with hoarders, and I have lost all sympathy for this behaviour. The crying, the histrionics, the inability to make a decision. None of that compares to the trauma of having to live in that environment and fight against it.

[Tiogair]

Those cats are in agony. The way they’re pacing like that in the crates shows the tiny space is harming their brains. They need to get the kitties out and burn that house down because it will never be suitable for humans, let alone a premie newborn. If that baby comes home with any kind of equipment, as many premies do, they probably won’t even be allowed to live in a clean house with cats. Even if the baby was born two months early, what happened to the seven prior months?? Clearly no real attempts were made to create or find safe housing for the baby and that is absolute negligence.

As someone who rescued a dog from a hoarding situation, I know it can be extremely difficult for these animals to adapt. I can’t believe anyone would treat these animals like this and truly think they’re taking care of them. Absolutely disgusting. If you subject yourself to these living conditions, fair enough. But to bring another innocent being into it is unforgivable.

[angelina-pysf]

I feel like the first guy thinks that's when cats meow, they're happy. no you daft penguin, they want attention, love and space.

[peterperfik]

Ok we get the cat guy together with the mouse lady and problem solved lol

[craftygirl]

That's so bloody cruel keeping cats caged up like that, esp in carrying cages that are meant for transporting them ie. to the vets.

[alauram.]

"They're happy" "You can hear they're happy" Yet I seen 2 black and white cats with severe neurological damage (the fast pace wall tagging/pacing) from being stuck in cages.... 😭

[SadAnorak]

The police had been checking the property for over two years yet never contacted the RSPCA about the 12 cats in 12 cages!

[msi]

I can't imagine keeping my cat in a cage for a day. What they're doing to those cats is nothing short of torture.

[alyshiakroll]

Its one of my biggest pet peeves when people have cats or a cat and u cant tell when u walk in their house...where are the trees? The beds? The Toys? Cats are like children. Would you put your kid in s cage all day? I would hope not...maybe Im just crazy and spoil my cat idk...
