Area hoarders surrender pets
by Josh Stilts
"Stephanie S. Frommer, a state animal cruelty investigator and the
director of field services for the
Monadnock Humane Society, headed the investigations that led to the
voluntary forfeiture of at
least 80 cats, 25 dogs and eight horses from three different properties
in Cheshire County. Because
the owners voluntarily gave up their animals, Frommer is withholding
their names, towns
of residence and other identifying information. No criminal charges are
pending, though Frommer
said the cases will remain open."
"Patronek, author of the article “Hoarding of Animals: An
Under-Recognized Public Health Problem
in a Difficult-to-Study Population,” which appeared in the journal
Public Health Reports, said most
hoarders have lost control of some aspect of their life and are
replacing that loss of control with the
animals’ dependence."

Early intervention key in
preventing animal hoarding cases
by Chloe White Kennedy
"It is estimated that 250,000 animals
are victims of hoarding each year -
East Tennessee has seen several
serious hoarding cases over the last few months - and officials
stress that early intervention is key. "If we
can catch (animal hoarding cases) early, the better we can help the
people, and the better we can help the animals,"
said Young-Williams Animal Center Executive Director Tim
Adams"

" 'Those were my babies....' -
animal hoarding is a complex
psychological problem"
by Michael P.McKinney
"Patronek, the
Tufts University professor, also founded the Hoarding of
Animals Research Consortium,
which did a study that called
animal hoarding
“a problem that few people recognize
as an important community concern and even fewer people study.” It
urged more research and better
communication among agencies that respond to animal hoarding “in
order to better identify,
rehabilitate, and monitor hoarders.”

by Andy Newman
"Stephanie LaFarge, a
psychologist with the A.S.P.C.A., said that in fact,
there were
many different kinds of cat hoarders.
There is the classic obsessive-compulsive who collects
animals to create a universe she can control; the
commercial breeder
whose inventory-control mechanisms go awry; the
once-robust cat owner who becomes infirm or demented and
can no longer herd her brood."

"The solution to animal hoarding is not a single-agency approach.. In other
