On April 25th, American Humane deployed to a heartbreaking situation in Tennessee involving more than 100 cats suffering from a devastating hoarding crisis. These animals faced conditions so horrific that our rescue team had to wear protective gear due to the dangerous levels of ammonia and an overwhelming amount of cat fur.
Founded in 1877 as the country’s first national humane organization, American Humane is committed to helping ensure the safety, welfare and well-being of animals. For nearly a century and a half, our innovative, science-based leadership programs have been First to Serve in promoting and nurturing the bonds between animals and humans.
