## Resource

A 73-year-old Indiana man, Gerald Neff, surrendered after a months-long investigation revealed a horrifying animal hoarding operation on his Madison County property—home to at least 30 cats in deplorable, life-threatening conditions, with reports of a possible mass grave. Neff’s texts to a shelter employee begged for help, even mentioning burying kittens, but he refused medical care or sterilization, leaving the animals malnourished and flea-ridden. Authorities found the home saturated with ammonia and feces, and Neff allegedly shot a cat during a seizure, risking neighbors’ safety. Now facing felony animal cruelty charges, Neff’s case underscores the community’s resolve to protect both people and animals from neglect.
