Lynea Lattanzio sold her 1973 Mercedes and her two-karat diamond wedding ring to start a cat shelter at her California home in the early 1990s. Today, she lives with approximately 1,100 cats, employs 45 full-time volunteers, and has an annual upkeep bill in the millions.
“I’m gonna say that I’m at the top of the list of eccentric, crazy cat ladies,” Lynea told Barcroft TV. The shelter founder was 67 years old when she welcomed cameras into this special home in January of 2016 and has since showed no signs of slowing down. But life in Parlier, California, never used to be this hectic.
