Things took a turn when Carol Leindecker's husband passed away five years ago.
Since then, a pair of cats turned into 23 that have taken over the home and Carol's finances. Because she's concerned about her mom, Kate reached out to Get Marty.

Having that many cats with their run of Carol's home hasn't just taken its toll on her finances. Kate is also concerned about her mother's health.
The next thing for them will be getting Carol into her apartment that's been waiting since January. Carol hasn't been staying there because she wants to take care of the cats.

Right away we thought of someone who's been a huge help in the past. Our friend Christa Amari and her team of volunteers at Kitty Queen Cat Rescue.
Christa didn't hesitate and offered to help. She's planning to have her team collect the cats over the weekend, get them evaluated, and then start the process to find them new homes.
As you'll see in the video, that news relieves a huge weight from Kate and her mom.
There are still ways you can help. We need people who are looking to take in these cats and of course the Kitty Queen Cat Rescue also needs volunteers and supplies. Check out these links to find out more.
