Purrs from the Heart: The ripple effect on Chicago cat rescue
The pictures being posted online are very much like the faces of the missing after a tragedy. In this case, the faces are cats and kittens. Their tragedy is being rescued and then let down by the group that stepped up to save their lives. As the story surrounding Purrs from the Heart unfolds, it has left rescues scrambling throughout Chicagoland to pick up the pieces while law enforcement and the department of agriculture puts together their own case against the organization and its leadership - founders Sherry and Brian Przybylski.
Purrs from the Heart, a small suburban rescue organization, pulled over 1,200 cats from Chicago Animal Care and Control over a six-month period. Now, the search is on to find where those cats ended up and how many are still alive. According to a WGN report, 500 cats died many others ended up at a house on Chicago’s Southside where conditions were deplorable and many more cats died of illness.
The effect of this situation ranges far beyond the 1,200 cats pulled and unaccounted for in this particular case. It’s effecting current and future rescue efforts for organizations of all sizes in the Chicago cat rescue community.
