Message from Dr. Bruce LeGallais

My name is Dr. Bruce LeGallais. I am a veterinarian working in a small
animal practice in Central Vermont. A client of mine, 4 or 5 years ago,
attempted to become an exotic cat breeder (specifically Bengals and
Abyssinians). Unfortunately she has bred a great number of cats but was
unable to part with any of the litters. As a consequence she has become
a hoarder and potentially has 100 to 150 cats in her house. Although
this woman is very nice she obviously has some problems and is finally
seeking some medical treatment. Therefore she can no longer care for
her cats. The humane societies in Vermont are at full capacity at this
time and no one can seem to help out with this problem.

I am volunteering my time and resources to help find her cats homes. If
not, they will all have to be euthanized. I personally will be going
into the house to select out the healthy individuals and make sure they
are up to date on their vaccines.

This is a very unfortunate situation but hopefully with some good will
some of these cats can be adopted out to good and loving homes. The
house they are currently living in has been condemned by the Dept. of
Health.

In conclusion, I am seeking help in finding an alternative to
euthanizing young, healthy cats of an unfortunate circumstance. If
anyone is interested or can help me find homes please e-mail me back at


Thank-you for your time and consideration,

Dr. Bruce

This looks like a pretty good deal on cats for people in the area.

This is such a sad story, good luck with your effort. Vermont is not a
populous state, obviously.

Perhaps you could also reach out to cities and areas within a day's drive
that could deliver the cats to potential adopters there, like Burlington, or
Boston or Albany...Maybe organize a car pool to deliver the cats.

Also definitely contact local television stations and newspapers with your
story - that will help spread the word.

Good luck!!

It's been posted all over New England, especially in the Boston area. I
posted this same exact letter last week here. I think there is progress
being made, but this guy is all on his own and indeed, trying to absorb this
many cats into central Vermont is a long shot at best. Unfortunately, this
comes at the same time as kitten mania, so these cats don't have the best
chance, but Dr LeGallais has gotten the word out, that's for shure!

It's made the rounds to the shelter I'm with in Southern NH. We are
assessing how many we can take.

Is there some sort of a fund, Paypal email, or website where people can make
donations?

Some way that people who can't adopt the cats can help out ....

Perhaps if you contact the vet that is heading the rescue effort, he can
take donations over the phone. I don't know that there is a fund set up
yet.
This is the vet's info:

An update on this situtation.
Our rescue's president has been in contact with other shelters in New
England as this message has been circulating everywhere. There was
difficulty verifying this at first as none of the Vermont shelters were
contacted about this case. The Vermont HSUS representative is on the case
and the cats are NOT in danger of being euthanized, and all should be able
to be taken in by VT shelters.

That's great news, Kelly!
