There is a man in Arcade named Tom who is losing his house to foreclosure and he has 25 cats he needs to find homes for ASAP. Our rescue has stepped up to help him while everyone else has told his no. It is going to be quite a task finding homes for all these kitties, but we're up for the challenge! And we need your help! In order to help Tom and the cats, we need places for these cats to go. Whether you can foster temporarily or long-term, or adopt, anything would help right now!
We will be going to his house on Sunday to access the situation and take some photos of the cats. I will post the pics and a complete list of the cats available once we have that information. So far we know that there are 15 who are fixed, tested and vaccinated (ages 5-17 years) and 10 who have never been to a vet (ages 8 months- 2 1/2 years).
There is one Siamese male, several long-haired black cats, two calicos, and several tabbies. He has described most of them as very affectionate and loving. If you are willing and able to help, PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP! The more commitments we get for fostering (or even adopting!) the more cats we can bring to safety this weekend. We have 30-60 days to place all these cats before the man loses his home. It could happen at any time though so PLEASE help!

Here is the original post from Craigslist:

I need your help. I have 25 cats that have to be re-homed in a forever home. About a year ago I lost my wife to cancer and the cats belonged to her. Since then I have fallen on very hard times. I am about to lose my home to foreclosure. The bank is coming soon and I have to move. I am not going to be able to take the cats with me. PLEASE HELP!! I am about to lose everything I own and it breaks my heart that I have to give up what I love so much. I cannot afford to feed or care for them. I have called every organization in Western New York and no one will help me. No one has room because of the recent SPCA issues in Cattaraugus, Niagara and Wyoming counties. I live in Arcade and am in desperate need of you to open your home and heart for one or two of my cats. PLEASE HELP TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!!
I have 15 that are either spayed or neutered. They range in age from 18 years old to 5 years old. These 15 are in very good health and all have their shots.
The other 10, 4 of which are female and 6 are males, need to be fixed and need their shots. With the loss of my wife I just don't have the money to take care of them properly.
I can email you pics of a few if that helps. They are all litter trained and are great family cats. They just need a forever home and love. Thank you.

We are also going to need funds for the vetting of the 10 kitties who are not fixed, vaccinated or tested. It will cost approximately $100 per cat. That does not include any additional vetting for any medical conditions we discover.
If you can donate toward their vetting, please follow this link: http://havenhousecats.chipin.com/emergency-rescue-of-25-cats-in-arcade
