## Key points

- A Torquay rescue received 112 cats from one overwhelmed owner.
- Several charities shared the work of caring for them.
- Forty-four cats remain with Hector’s House.

## Summary

A distressed man took 76 cats to Hector’s House Cat Rescue in Torquay, saying he could no longer care for them. After learning there were more cats at his home, the charity arranged a collection that brought the total to 112, prompting several organisations to help.

Some cats were loose in the car or crowded into stacked crates, and volunteers found 36 more at the property on 8 November. The cats were photographed and assessed, with some taken straight to vets; the RSPCA took 47, Margaret Green Animal Rescue took 16, and five were returned to the man after neutering and microchipping. Hector’s House still cares for 44, while its founder said most were doing well despite being underweight and dirty.
