Lynea Lattanzio, 68, now lives in a small mobile home so she can better care for more than 1,000 cats. That’s right…she lives with over 1,000 cats.
Lynea once had a big house with a pool and a view, but she gave it all up to move into a small mobile home in order to take care of more cats. Over the course of her life, Lynea says she has taken in and lived with 28,000 cats!
The self-proclaimed “ultimate crazy cat lady” is obsessed with cats. She began adopting and rehousing cats in the early ’90s, spending thousands of dollars of her own money to do so. Once she became a vet technician, she was able to grow her mission and find the funds needed for food, litter, maintenance, staffing, and vets.
Lynea’s trailer sits on her six-acre property in California, known as Cat House on the Kings. It’s the state’s largest no-cage, no-kill sanctuary for feral and abandoned cats. She and her team of volunteers care for about 800 adult cats and 300 kittens.
In the video below you’ll get a glimpse into the overwhelming, yet amazing Cat House, where feisty felines roam freely throughout a five-bedroom house.
