Nowadays, many people like to keep pets, including cats and rabbits, but some not only like to keep them, but also like to keep a group of pets. In the best mothers in American dramas, Marjori has 16 cats. Maybe everyone thinks that it is fictional in the TV series, but I want to tell you now that there is a place where I have raised 700 cats in real life.
There have always been countless caring people who adopt stray cats and dogs, but Linia Latanzo, who lives in California, USA, has reached an obsession. Latanzo has taken in stray cats since 1981. Over the past 30 years, there have been as many as 700 stray cats living in her house. For this reason, she specially built a "cat nest" for the cats, eating and sleeping with the cats. The daily cat food and medical expenses alone cost US$5,700 (about 36,000 yuan). For this reason, she is called "crazy cat woman" by the locals.
Latanzo said that some of the cats were sent by the original owner, and sometimes, locals would also send them when they picked up discarded kittens. "I don't have a cage here, nor do I have a pet 'euthanized'. I don't do this because I'm crazy. I may like to 'take care of myself'." Latanzo said that the reason why I had the idea of taking in stray cats was because my mother did not allow her to raise cats when she was a child. Latanzo felt that there were many people like her in the world. It's just that she doesn't know.
In this way, she built the world's largest cat shelter, with very complete facilities in the cat's nest, with five hectares of grass and tall trees for cats to play freely. Moreover, cats are not free-range, and there are classifications. They are specialized in non-encompassing rooms to take care of kittens, and also have clinics and operating rooms. For critically ill, there are intensive care units, and for older cats, there are nursing homes.
But behind this warm cat nest are countless difficulties and hardships. Latanzo has been working for more than 20 years, has dozens of employees, and has saved tens of thousands of cats in 365 days. However, she faces new problems every day, including cat food, infrastructure, medicine, new cats. She owes hundreds of thousands on the verge of bankruptcy, but she still says, "I won't give up." Knowing that she is still working hard now.
Linia Latanzo is not a lunatic, but she is doing something extremely crazy to save lives. An animal shelter may kill hundreds of animals a day, so her work is undoubtedly worthy of respect, because life is never small due to body shape.
