Signs of Hoarding Animals.
The first sign that someone is hoarding animals is when they have more animals than one person can adequately care for in a given period of time. This may first appear when a person begins to care for stray animals, and other neighborhood animals. They may leave food out, or carry food out to the animals every night, and then begin letting the animals into their home. Veterinarians are often the first to realize there is a problem either because they see the same person with different animals, or the same illnesses appearing in a certain group of animals.
