The WORST Hoarding Cases | Hoarding: Buried Alive

[@shawn-3561]

"The cats are my family" You don't lock your family in cages, with barely enough room to even turn around. I feel guilty putting my cat in her carrier to walk her to the vet down the road, this is just plain cruelty.

Those cats are in agony. The way they’re pacing like that in the crates shows the tiny space is harming their brains. They need to get the kitties out and burn that house down because it will never be suitable for humans, let alone a premie newborn. If that baby comes home with any kind of equipment, as many premies do, they probably won’t even be allowed to live in a clean house with cats. Even if the baby was born two months early, what happened to the seven prior months?? Clearly no real attempts were made to create or find safe housing for the baby and that is absolute negligence.

But to bring another innocent being into it is unforgivable.

[@marzbarj16]

oh I completely agree with you! I just wanted to cry when I saw all those cats caged up and the animals living with that poor excuse of a woman. I believe it should be illegal for hoarders to own animals - NO animal should be put thru something like that! bless your sweet heart for rescuing that poor fur baby and giving him/her the loving, clean, happy home they deserve🤍 I hope I can do the same someday - not necessarily a hoarding rescue, but simply a sweet furry friend from an animal shelter😊

[@acethebig1560]

oh yeah! my cat is a rescue on a similar situation; although she wasn't in a cage, she lived with an elderly women who hoarded cats. she was still a kitten when we got her but she was heavily traumatized. she spent like a month upstairs, only knowing that she still was there because she ate the food we gave her. 6 years later, she is the best cat I could ever have! she still has some issues, specially with new people and people walking besides her (she will run off). she also has a eye completely blind and she doesn't have her 4 front teeth. rescues are a whole different experience from "normal" adopting

[@zxyatiywariii8]

One dog we adopted only weighed 7.5 pounds, and normal for her size and breed is 14 pounds! But we were able to help her get over the trauma of her bad home, and got her to 14 pounds, and although it all takes time, she blossomed into a very happy and healthy dog.

There's someone in my husband's family who frequently barrs their 3 dogs inside cages in a cluttered room for God knows how long. I think they're slight hoarders too, or just messy af I can't tell. But I can't stay there long for the smell and abundance of dog hair everywhere. They had a dog that they kept outside all year long as it didn't get along with the dogs inside or some bullshit like that. And we live in Canada so you can imagine the cold winters. Thank God, someone called the SPCA or police on that one and the dog has been removed from the property. I cannot understand how people can treat their animals this way. It's infuriating. And in their home, unhealthy. My daughter used to go stay there frequently and would often come home covered in bites. She also stayed at her grandfather's home so we didn't want to assume. But the rest of us have flea & bedbug treated our homes several times over and I'm 100% sure it's coming from that place. She visits now but doesn't stay long. We've moved an hour away and are managing away from that mess, thank God.

My cats have their own bedroom, which is just a bedroom with all of their stuff in it- not like a bedroom they are stuck in 24/7! Anyway, when they get crazy at night, I lure them into their room with some wet food and close the door until morning so everyone can sleep peacefully and I feel badly enough just making them sleep in their own room for the night! I could never imagine keeping them in tiny cat carriers all of the time!! How could you imagine they were happy at all?? They'd be happier, and likely live longer, if just left to their own devices outside- at least the chance to groom themselves and not sit in their own waste, the chance to run and breathe fresh air. How can you deny any animal the right to not sit in their own filth?!?!

I hope these cats are in a better place.

[@katharineomg]

those poor sweet kitties… seeing the one pacing its carrier trying to get out made me cry

[@nikeyawashington4332]

I hate people who torture animals and then justify it.. like no sir, they are not happy, you are just selfish .

[@happydays5989]

When it goes to animals I go from sympathetic to incredible angry

[@Ukjeiy44]

These poor innocent cats, they did nothing to deserve this...

[@KalHimself]

"I thought when they said they couldn't clean the upstairs, that was totally ridiculous." Said the person casually living in filth. It's one thing to have this disease but another to have an attitude with the very people trying to help you.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

Psh, the cleaning crew from the show "Hoarders, " would've jumped in and cleaned up the cat feces without a problem!

[@alauram.6416]

Yes! I love that show so much more than this one. On the other show they really try and help get people's lives together and house clean

[@XSemperIdem5]

Cory has a biohazard cleaning company so he's experienced with that level of disgusting from his regular job.

[@fractalgem]

Those people are often dumb and often charge into positively filthy houses without so much as a mask.

[@rocyrino]

Cats are not meant to live in cages. This is unnecessarily cruel. It probably stems from the owner's fear of abandonment, but no other being should have to suffer because of your inability to cope with separation. I can only imagine the smell. I lived with a landlord who had thirteen Pomeranian in his kitchen, living in two huge cages on top of each other. They were not separated by sex, so puppies happened. Some of them developed poorly due to uncontrolled inbreeding. That kitchen reeked of a smell I cannot describe, but I'm pretty sure lingers in that person's household. Poor kitties

[@rah4254]

Cats in a box and they're happy? Cats like to explore and run around, this is animal abuse

[@ArmyStay0T70T8]

The cat guy. Well known here in Cincinnati. I just don't understand how the hell he kept them in cages all the time. Fucking cruel. Spca should have been called sooner. I had to stop 16 seconds in. I ve seen before and was in tears the whole time. And I work in rescue. Fucking horrible should have been charged. Cats walking,standing, laying in own filth. Yeah they happy pacing back in forth meowing like crazy for attention to get the fck out.

[@STTPlan]

Cats are held captive

[@megwon1987]

Honestly I would looove for the people that hoard animals to be locked in tiny cages like those poor animals and see how “happy” they sound.

[@chloemckenzie7841]

All the cats caged up and where they live gives me anxiety

[@Artsypawz]

Omg this is so wrong NO animal deserves to live in a beyond dirty house let alone in a CAGE.

[@dinoradio]

Those guys didn't deserve the help. It's the cats who did

[@angelreilly8312]

I wanted to cry when I saw all the cats in their carriers. That's awful.

[@sarahjones3338]

“They’re happy?” Such delusion. This is no place fof humans let alone an infant.

[@Meme-ks7uq]

Poor cats. They better not bring that baby home.

[@madasaboxofrogs]

My heart breaks for those poor cats.

[@vampirehunterd2561]

Boy, those cats must love living in cages 23 hours a day. Who wouldn't want to spend their life in a cage!

[@summersys]

Those poor cats oh my god my heart HURTS. I started crying.

[@ashdove1673]

How can any animal be happy when it's stuck in a cage for long periods of time in that type of condition.

[@cailynporter9115]

SAVE THOSE CATS!!!

[@intheflesh47]

Poor cats stuck in cages in that nasty house they deserve better

[@sunflower5749]

Thats BAD when the sanitation experts want to vomit and leave. @4:18

[@josiebutler2506]

This is just straight up animal abuse.

[@rosaritabeanz3783]

Thats so increbily digusting they keep their cats like that. That is no condition any animal should have to live in. That is just pure abuse. I hope those cats are taken away to find better homes.

[@mickiebaby1]

Those cats going back and forth in their cages is clear sign of being in distress. This is abuse plain and simple. I hope I never come across this dude ever I’d wreck him. That is just fucking cruel. Those poor babies. That’s gonna cause severe neurological problems😭

[@okuk89]

Animal abuse! They shouldn’t be locked in those constantly… SHOCKING
