She may be able to find an attorney who's willing to take this case pro bono. It would be well worth looking into.

I would be contacting an attorney and the media first. This is absolutely ridiculous and if anyone should be paying these fees, it's your town. If they had upheld their own law in the first place this wouldn't be an issue.

Animal hoarding is unfortunately a growing problem and situations like this, sadly aren't uncommon. Our shelters here rely heavily on volunteers as well as fund-raising events and sponsors. I hope that with your contact to the town, police and especially the media, it becomes a catalyst in...

Our local shelter takes in feral cats, treats them for whatever they can, spays/neuters them and once they have a clean bill of health, they offer them for free to people looking specifically for outdoor/barn cats. They call them "Barn Buddies". Hopefully your local shelter does the same or...

I know I couldn't kill them...well, unless they starting harming my own animals. I had a predator problem a few years ago and contacted my local animal control to borrow a trap. He didn't have one large enough so I told him that means the last thing left for me to do was to start shooting. He...

I also live in a rural community and our county animal shelter has a "catch and release" program; they'll spay and neuter strays at no cost to anyone then release the cats back to where they came from. They also have a program for people who can't afford to spay/neuter to do it for $10. I'm...
