A rough economy and rainy summer have conspired to make it particularly difficult for many people to provide for their animals this year. The MSPCA received twice as many kittens as usual in August (more than 300), and the organization is currently hosting a record number of horses (59 surrendered so far this year) as well. Because of their size and status as livestock animals (despite how much people may try to make them “pets”), horses need more involved care than most animals, including space to roam, shelter, and feed that you can't get at the grocery store. As a result, there are far fewer eligible homes for horses in need than for kittens in crises.
