I LOVE this man. Heart as big as anyone could have. House probably smells but, with luck, he has a constant head cold. Really good man.

How does he keep track of all their names? Kitty 1 - 300?

Chris Arsenault, 58, opened his cat sanctuary to cope with the grief of losing his son and has devoted his life to rescuing and caring for abandoned kitties.

Good for him. So sorry for his loss.

Arsenault, who lives in Medford, New York, said: “I don’t find it overwhelming even though there are 300 cats now. “I truly believe that if you are passionate about something you can handle anything. I really love what I do. “My house, it’s a big house and there’s a big backyard area. Everything is kitted out for the cats. I designed and build it all myself. “For me, safety and hygiene have been a priority. “I have to be able to clean everything, wash everything down."

He's found something that makes his life worth living in this overwhelmingly crappy world. As a benefit, it gives otherwise abandoned cats a happy existence. In taking care of my cat I learned there is great reward in caring for another life, even a feline one. If this brings him joy and purpose, I wish him all the best.

I can’t imagine doing that, but I also haven’t had a child pass away before me.

Sweet guy but at some point you cannot give each cat individual attention so it is a feral colony. Then having them all fixed would be so expensive! If that is his therapy to cope with loss, I hope he finds home for most of them someday and gives his love to a lucky few!

Fur farm... I’m inundated with fur just from 2 cats.
I can’t imagine cleaning up after 300.
