We live in the country and fortunately have a totally fenced property, in the past 30 years there is no way we could count the strays that have showed up at our fence, my husband says our dogs tell them ” stick around softies live here” However it is heartbreaking how many there are from little brand new beagle puppies, dropped off in the middle of the road, to dogs of every age and breed. . we have kept some of them for the humane society till room could be found, and some have never left us, we have a large graveyard, of cast offs we came to love, and who gave us great joy and devotion. Most had heart worm that had to be addressed. Perhaps the owners knew it and just dumped them out.

UNtil people learn to put themselves in an animals place and another humans place, they will never adopt a respect for our enviornment and the creatures that enhabit it along with us…….Hoarding or whatever there is still no excuse for this couples environment, and they were making money from these poor cats, right? .

All the talk and innuendo about how wonderful these folks are is sickening. Perhaps their heart was in the right place in the beginning but there is no excuse for filth, starvation, and infestation.

The facts speak for themselves as reported. Too much of this type and other types of animal cruelty goes on unpunished in Santa Rosa and Escambia counties.

I say stiffer penalties and jail time for the wanton and deliberate abuse of animals.

You judges and lawyers get a grip, grow a set, and do your job. If the laws need changing then it is up to us bu mostly, the laws are there are they not but not being enforced. If they are not then lets get them changed.

These people went to Paws in Fort Walton Beach and picked up cats on a regular basis, why wasn’t this questioned by Paws? If someone comes to my rescue and wants to adopt more than one cat or kitten the first thing I do is a home visit! This whole thing could have been prevented with a little bit of leg work. These peoe were hoarders and nothing more. I also have cats and kittens that come to me ill and in bad shape; they are isolated until they are well and vet releases them. Kirkhams is not a rescue it is and has been a death sentence for quite some time. Lets have some county regs on these kinds of places

I did adopt a cat from them in 2010. The poor cat had ringworms all over him and malnutritioned. He was scared of everything and between me and the vet it took us almost 5 months to get him back to normal. Before I adopted Milo I was going to get other cats that were there and he( the owner) kept saying ,”No, he is mine or no, she is mine.” so they were not in it for the cats they were hoarders and they were covering it with saying they were a shelter. The house smelled so bad and almost every cat was sick. I turned him in then but was told he was the head of the Milton humane society. so go figure!

They love cats. They have been working to help cats for years. 5 years ago they were even helping owners to get their cats fixed with shots and tags. Not sure what has happened since then but I do not think they had any bad intent. I think they wanted to help and because of the huge amount of abandoned and homeless cats, they ended up completely overwhelmed

Glad this couple were relieved of their duty, obviously they were in over their heads.

Unbelievable! If you choose to have pets, make certain that you are able to properly care for them.. Veterinarians, meds, and food cost if you have only one, but most of all, they all deserve love and companionship..
