If you haven’t heard the term “crazy cat lady”, then you’ve been living under a rock. This is a coined term for women (or men), that basically live their lives around their cats’ needs, wants, and desires. And usually that goes for definitely more than just one cat. While there are many people that fit this term, there are also people that fit this category, and then some….if you catch our drift….They go something like this…
1The Woman Who Cares For 1,100 Cats
Lynda Lattanzio is “the ultimate cat lady” in the most classic sense: she lives with over 1,000 cats that roam around her 42,000 square foot house and 6-acre property. The Cat House On The Kings in Parlier, California, is the state’s largest no-cage, no-kill sanctuary.

Canadian couple Dominic Husson and Louise Véronneau are true animal lovers. When it came time for them to wed, they decided that the lush, rolling hills of The Cat House On The Kings (yes, the same sanctuary mentioned above!) provided the perfect ambiance–and feline guest list–for their nuptials.

4The “Kitten Lady” Who’s Saved Hundreds Of Neonatal Kittens.
It all started with a stray kitten. Not wanting to take it to a high-kill shelter, Hannah Shaw used research and good sense to raise her first furry baby.

5The Grandmother Who Passed Away Hours After Her Cat Crossed The Rainbow Bridge
This bittersweet story shows how close one elderly woman was to her feline best friend. After the woman’s husband died, she and her cat Gabby became particularly close. The two grew older together until it came time for Gabby to cross the Rainbow Bridge in peace. When the woman returned home from the vet, all alone, she laid down to take a nap…and joined her kitty in Heaven.

Kim Freeman has dedicated her life to helping families find their lost felines.
