Cats saved from ‘extreme’ hoarding get Taylor Swift-inspired names — and will need homes
Several cats named in honor of Taylor Swift are ready for a “new era” after they were rescued in Georgia.
The felines were among 52 cats and dogs saved from an “extreme hoarding and breeding” situation at a home in Flowery Branch, the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia said in a Dec. 11 news release.
In honor of Swift’s “Time Person of the Year” achievement, the group gave the cats crafty names inspired by the Grammy Award-winning singer as they prepare for new homes.
“Whether you’re looking for a Miss Americana or a London Boy, we’re confident you’ll find your Kelce and fall in love!” according to a post on the nonprofit’s Facebook page.
Animal lovers swooned over photos of the cats that soon will be up for adoption.
“LOL two of my favs come together. animal welfare & taylor swift,” one person commented.
The animals, ranging in age from 3 days old to 8 years old, were left behind by their owner, who officials said fled the home with 150 other cats and dogs, according to the Humane Society.
Those that were saved have been treated and will be available for adoption after they’re spayed and neutered, the group said.
McClatchy News reached out to the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia for more information Dec. 12 and was awaiting a response.
Flowery Branch is about 40 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta.
