The Cortland County SPCA has found itself caring for almost 300 cats, seized in a hoarding investigation. The cats are temporarily being housed at the old firehouse in Cortlandville on Route 281, across from the discount beverage store, just past the A&W (if you are coming from the direction of Ithaca).
They desperately need volunteer help, cleaning cages and medicating cats. The number to call is 758-5424, however, if you are experienced with cats and can follow directions easily and can get straight to work, I understand you can go right down to the old firehouse and start helping anytime during daytime hours.

It's Sunday night, and I've just returned from volunteering at the Cortland County facility. It is a shocking sight - you know 275 cats is a lot, but when you see them all in cages, in long rows, in stacks of 2 and 3, you really get the complete picture. It felt very much like the Best Friends facility in MS, after the hurricane. Hundreds of cats. Please keep blogging about this, if you can. They are going to need volunteers for a long time to come.
