(cnbnews.net)UPDATE-Nancy Welsh, Gloucester City Animal Control Officer, explained on Wednesday, August 17, why no one in the press was contacted by the agencies involved with the removal of the 100 plus cats from a home on Railroad Avenue.
 
Welsh said, \”Animal Planet produces a show about hoarding pets such as cats. They do it in a way to protect the privacy of the individual. When the show is finally televised it will be done as though this could have happened in ‘Any Where USA’. Gloucester City will not be mentioned. All the people that volunteered to help, and the agencies involved all signed papers that this would be kept private. \”
 
Continuing she said, \”The cats were taken to shelters in the state of New Jersey. Some rescue groups traveled two hours to get here. They will be put up for adoption. That is not say that someone from out of state can’t adopt one of the cats.
 
\”The SPCA was not involved in the rescue of these animals, even though the truck in the photo had SPCA Police written on it. The truck was driven by people from the Humane Society who purchased the vehicle from the SPCA Police.\”
 
For the record it was the Audubon animal rescue group Joa\’s ARC that contacted Animal Planet. That group also coordinated the rescue with the other organizations.
