I adopted the black and white cat shown at 2:58 about 7 years ago. I named him Oscar. He grew to be fat and happy before passing away of cancer last year. I am so thankful to have given him a home for the last few years of his life because he sure changed mine! I still miss him daily. Humane Society, keep doing what you do!

+Danielle Figueroa! Hi!! Thanks for watching the video!! To answer your question, the owners pleaded no contest to 47 counts of animal cruelty. They were sentenced to 15 years of probation along with fines and a prohibition on owning or rescuing any cats. They were also ordered to enter mental health counseling and submit to inspections by the county.

Cat meowing in beginning melted my heart and had me tearing up. So hard not to cry. So pathetic.

I do believe when cats are rescued from bad situations they know it and appreciate what's been done for them. They respond with love and affection as seen in this video. I bet some of the badly injured cats probably got into fights. What's with these "cat hoarders" anyway? I've never heard of such a thing. The stupidity of some people seems to know no bounds.

this hurts too much

If you need a volunteer. I'm here. I will always be here

Rescued the friendliest cat in the world from a Walmart parking lot. Young, terribly skinny kitty begged me for food, and I just couldn't leave her there. My family is allergic to cats so we had to rehome as soon as possible but I helped that kitty find her perfect owner. They really love one another.

Im gonna work at a shelter when im older. This is terrible, what people do to animals!!!!! 😡

I'm only 10 but I already want to work as a animal rescuer

How can anyone do this? It kills me to see just how loving they are despite the cruelty.

The first kitty made me tear up 😓 so glad all of them were rescued and I hope if they haven't already are adopted by good, caring families

I'm honestly crying right now. How could people do this to innocent animals... It makes me so happy that you rescued the animals 🐱

Why would they even keep the cats in such conditions? Clearly they weren't selling them. Where's the benefit? Or they just like watching cats suffer. My previous cat I picked up from streets, he was around 1 week old, skin and bones, he already gave up and wasn't even running from big cats who were hissing at him ready to attack. I took him in, gave him a blanket, some water and food, and next day he was happily jumping and playing with us. I never imagined it could feel so good. He grew up into a big handsome smart cat. Guys, don't buy your pets, pick them up from the streets!

Oh my gosh, these cats have been injured. I'm shocked that it's worst than I thought 😥 I pray for these cats

The first scene that shows this man cradling a frightened and injured kitten honestly made me cry. To imagine what that poor thing has gone through is astonishing. I hope all of these cats find loving, warm homes.

my cat (a rescue stray) is laying next to me now and just watching this makes me so happy and lucky to have my little girl beside me. :)

I'm rly attached to cats (not to the point where I wanna hoard cats) and this just broke me😞

I don't understand why people would want to hurt any animal. This made me have tears. I hope these beautiful cats found loving homes. I'm just annoyed on how people thinks it's okay to abuse/neglect gods creatures

thank y for saving the animals there

when I was about eleven years old I saved my first cat off the street he was a flame point Siamese we named him sensei (master in Japanese) sadly he passed away due to kidney failure. my second cat I rescued and absolutely adored was Hibbles. he was a Siamese, tabby mix, colors of a Siamese with light patterns of a tabby, he was so handsome. He was hit by a car and staggered all the back to our driveway before he died, I was at school when it happened, I probably cried for months, but they were the best cats I've ever had. I wish I could also save animals and find them forever homes too.

This makes me so sad, my cat means the world to me and i can't stand seeing cats in this condition, I'm glad their safe now but there are still animals out there being abandoned and it breaks my heart, i would love to rescue animals

breaks my heart :( this is my dream job i wish i could help animals like these amazing ppl!!!!! bless them for helping all the poor babies out there

Awe I love how the one cat had a hammock. They are all so beautiful and I would buy all of them if I could!

U and the people part of the "The HUMANE SOCIETY" are soooooooooooooooo kind to rescue animals that get abused and dumped in horrible conditions ;) tears of joy.

These small things that make us human

Thank-You for saving all these LIL BABIES! May they all be BLESSED with forever homes!

OMG so sweet of you ever since i was 6 (7 years later now) i have always wanted to be a animal cop or work as a vet or how these people come in to change their litter box and give the cats love.......since i am not old enough to gt a job yet i volunteer at an animal shelter i did a bake sale for the shelter and i was able to donate 170 dollars i was so happy to know i was helping the poor animals that needed homes

Look at those hugs! They're so happy! Thank you so much for giving them a chance!

I want to be a veterinarian when I get older I already have like 7 cat, 4 dogs, 2 parrots, and 4 ginia pigs.

Whenever I see these videos I always cry and I'll try to join and help the society as soon as I can!!!!! These animals deserve a right to live a long and healthy life, not in those conditions!

I don't live in the USA, but I'd love to be part of a team like this, it's absolutely incredible what you do!

This very sad. I'm tearing up. Thank you so much, Humane Society, for all you do, you are amazing people.

I have a cat called Cinder, she was a stray kitten until my da decided to bring her home she is now an adorable, playful, fluffy, clean cat it's been a year already. I'm so proud of her, she is also quite chubby now. God knows what will happen if she wasn't brought to our home. Also keep us the good work, you guys are doing fantastic ! God bless you all !

When i was seven, I found a orange tabby laying on the side of the road bleeding out. The poor cat was hit by a car and I took it to a vet, hoping that they could do something. The whole time the cat was there I checked on it every single day after school until it was ok. After that I took care of it and named it blaze because of its fur and golden eyes. Few years later she ran away and never came back ;-; I was age 10 when she did and right now I'm a 12 year old helping out any stray animal I come across and pushing people to take better care with their animals :)

You guys are absolutely amazing! It's so overwhelming to see you helping these poor creatures (regardless of wether it's a cat, horse, dog etc.) It's just beautiful! Doing my best here in Austria, Europe. But sometimes it is so hard... Thank you for keeping up this stunning work in the US. greets from Austria

having three cats, this makes me sob. these beautiful animals are suffering through hell, getting sick from the fumes of urine and feces. thank you so much for saving them. god bless you people

Peace & blessings 10,000 times over to everyone who rescues precious animals. It breaks my heart to see the horrible conditions these poor cats were “living” in, but warms my heart to know they’re in such good hands now. 🙏 Thank you all so much. 💕

I looked at my cat, and was like, wonder where u came from....

I can't believe what people do to these poor animals. I hope everyone of those animals live a happy, well lived life.

I’m actually crying just look at them all they wanted was love god bless them

Wow. The humans should have got charged with 700 counts of cruelty. We need better animal cruelty laws up here in canada. I dont think I have ever heard of a hoarder to this extent . If there was I dont think the animals would survive the winter in conditions like these. Keep up the excellent work. ♥♥

I'm not really a cat person but all of those cats , God blessed them all

Thank you for rescuing these animals. When I grow up I want to become an animal rescuer and help end animal cruelty. It breaks my heart to see such horrible conditions these animals have to live in. I live in Canada and really want to become an animal rescuer when I grow up. I'm currently 13 and I'm for sure I'll love animals for the rest of my life

Poor these little angles...😭😭😭 Thank you for saving these angles.

You guys are doing such a great job saving all those animals keep it up Thank you so much

I live in canada but i just want to thank your team somuch for what you are doing

I cried. I am currently awaiting volunteer orientation for my local cat shelter in New Jersey, where the cats are treated so much better than this. They live in clean, well taken care of conditions, and receive quality, kind care from the nice veterinarians. One of my two cats, who I got fro there, was rescued when she was pregnant and eating out of a dumpster. They helped her give birth and I got to adopt her and one of her kittens. When we looked at them in the shelter, they had a clean litter box, a soft blanket, toys, water, and food. They were safe, loved, and taken care of. When her kitten got an eye infection, they gave him eye drops and medication and he got better. THIS IS HOW CATS AND ALL ANIMALS NEED TO BE TREATED!!!

Bless this caring staff... that would be my dream to save animals in need for a living.

this is tearing me up 😱😖😲😦😧😯 mostly on the inside💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

awe its nice to know there are good people to rescue them

THSUS are ANGELS on earth!!!! What you all do for these animals is amazing!!!!! I just wish there were way more people out there like you to save them ALL!!!!! Thank you for everything you do!!!!!

My God. I'm crying so hard right now. I wish I could help them all......

Poor cats 😪😪thankyou for rescuing them🙏🙏

This world needs more people like you :)

THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO!!! GODSPEED

Hello HSUS! I just wanted to thank you for saving these creatures that need help, 700 new souls in seeking of a great home, full of love and care. Once again thank you for saving them.

Спасибо огромное за все, что Вы делаете! Это великое дело! Храни Вас Господь!

Bless you guys for saving them.

These videos of poor animals make me cry. My cat who I love with all of my heart was rescued from one of these places and I feel so sorry for all of the animals that don't get loving homes, if I could, I would save all animals and help them live happy, healthy lives. Thank you so much for rescuing all of these wonderful cats and dogs and so on. 😊

So loving in spite of all they've been through. Thankyou for rescuing them.. beautiful kitties just want to be loved and touched.

Great people who do this! God bless

It's so horrible how people do that to animals, I can't even think about something like that happening to my cat

I will never forget the day we adopted Grant. He may be the one shown at 1:15 in the video. These people spent at least 3 months getting these animals ready for their forever homes. How do you pick one cat out of three wear-houses full? He's pure white beautiful, mild tempered, awesome bundle of white fur. They estimated him at 4years at the time. He is now 13. Precious loving baby. Many times as he sits on my lap I have wondered what he may have gone through in his previous life. I just want to thank the Humane Society for all they are doing for so many abused animals. Thank you for such a wonderful addition to our lives.

You're just heroes, thank you so much, animals realy need heroes like you.

Lo peor, inconcebible, es creer que ese era un "santuario" pues, era el infierno en vida, para una especie tan hermosa como los gatos. Estos animales, merecen trato digno, respeto, cuidados y millones de caricias y besos😻🇲🇽🙏

Those poor fur-babies!!! Why would someone do this if they are not capable of talking care of them! >:c

Brings me to tears... I don't know how anyone can do this to sweet animals :(

Poor babies... thank you so much for doing this!

This made me cry

Thank you so much for all your work. Your team is truly amazing, keep it up :)

They still have so much love to give. This breaks my heart

It breaks my heart to see how animals have been treated by humans. It’s heartbreaking to know that people are capable of hurting innocent lives. It touches my heart to see that there are people like you who dedicate your time in rescuing animals that have become victim to people like this. Why people do this? I have no idea. It gives me a feeling of relief to know that the Humane Society is out there doing things like this. I volunteered about a year ago. It changed my life. I was too young to be on the Rescue Team, but I am approaching the age at which I can. I’m hoping I’ll be able to. Please keep doing what you guys are doing. It breaks my heart seeing animals in these conditions. With millions of other people behind me, I thank you for your service and your dedication to helping these animals. Thank you.

This makes me sick just to look at. I could never do your guys jobs I'd just blow a fuse. I'm happy to know you guys exist, keep up the good work.

Every time I watch these videos they always make me cry because I love animals so much! Thank you and please keep having your team grow to keep rescuing :)

Thank you for saving this beautiful animals that God made for us to love and appreciate the smiles they put in our faces.

I am happy to know that people like you are giving all they have for the poor animals. Live and gratitude from the UAE 💖.

I cried! I love cats so much!! 💔😭💕

You Guys Are my heroes ! I love you so much for saving all the little poor souls !

I saved my present cat off the street. Poor baby showed up at my back door covered in mud and starving. He is now the happiest cat in the world with all the hugs and yummies he could ever want!

I think I love animals more than people I love every single type of animal mostly dogs and cats and hamsters

I don't exactly like cats but doing this to any animal is just insane and horrifing to even think about.. i hope that all 700 cats get a good forever home and are loved for the rest of their lives

Hey. Shout out to all those people who went out on that assignment and helped. I am so happy that you can turn poor helpless cats and kittens into strong thriving cats. Because I have two kittens myself it just brings joy to my heart that people like you exist. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

OMG!! Soo heartbreaking!! Thank you Humane Society for all that you do for these animals!!!

Thank you, thank you so much !!!! This kind of situation is hearthbreaking...

GRACIAS , GRACIAS Y MIL VECES GRACIAS , por rescatar a estos inocentes inocentes e indefensos animalitos , ya sea gatitos , perritos , etc. Ustedes son personas "GRANDIOSAS", que demuestran todo su amor , sensibilidad y corazones piadosos . 🐾🐾🐾👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌈

Thank you for saving the cat from the poor environment. I sincerely hope that all the cats rescued here will be happy.

Even as a veterinary professional, this stuff breaks my heart still. But I am proud to be the person and gateway to helping not only the hurt and sick kitties, but to helping their rescuers as well. Blessed 🙏

If I could I would adopt all of these cats

Words cannot describe how horrible this makes me feel for those poor animals. I hope the hoarder spends quite some time in prison and then gets the help they need.

I'm a huge cat lover and seeing this kind of cruelty... It really tears me in two. Knowing that they all are going to be able to get new and happy homes brings me to tears. Thank you for all you have done for these poor animals. Lately I've been watching your videos, and it has inspired me to try my best at helping animals. I volunteer at a pet store on weekends to help get cats new homes. Please keep doing what you are doing, for me and the animals.

God Bless y’all for saving them!!!!💚💜💙💛

The 57 people that disliked this is heartless

I’m so glad there are good people like you in this world that help animals that need it the most. God bless you and the community.
