Lynea Lattanzio of Parlier, California rescues cats from around the world in California’s largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary The Cat House on the Kings

Lynea Lattanzio of Parlier, California, lives alone with 700 cats on her 12-acre spread, where she runs a huge cat sanctuary, and yet insists that she is not crazy.

The divorcee rescues cats from around the world in California’s largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary The Cat House on the Kings, and aims to place them into permanent homes to prevent overpopulation by spaying and neutering.

“If I were a cat, this is where I’d be,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling the New York Post.

Lattanzio insists that she’s no crazy cat lady.

“I prefer to say I’m eccentric or masochistic,” she said.

This masochist has rescued almost 19,000 felines since her divorce in 1981, with the sanctuary being run by generous donations.

At present, Lattanzio also has 15 dogs under her care.
