According to the Lake Humane Society, the facility surrendered 144 cats. Additionally, Holy Cat Whiskers must:Allow random inspections of the facility
“Our hope is that in the future, when a rescue becomes overwhelmed or needs help, they reach out to Lake Humane Society before a larger issue occurs,” executive director Lori Caszatt said. Holy Cat Whiskers was also asked to reimburse the Lake Humane Society of over $11,000 to cover partial costs of the care for the cats, many of which suffered from respiratory infections, parasites, ear mites, dental disease, and other medical conditions.
