She told theTelegraph:

I went from my five bedroom home with a swimming pool, bar and a view of the river to a 1,600 square foot mobile home with rusty metal.

She now runsCat House On The Kings, which is California's largest no-cage, no kill sanctuary for feral and abandoned cats.Everyday,Lynea and her team of volunteerslook after almost 800 cats and 300 kittens! Thecats are fed in a special kitchen, they keep warm in a wood stove room, play in the indoor 'kittygarden' as well as theoutdoor one, and finallysleep in a roomequipped withbeds, food, water, and benches. That's a five-star kitty hotel if we ever heard of one!Elle admitted:

When I first started this endeavour, it was out of my own pocket for seven years. I sold my car, I sold my wedding ring.

Over the past 24 years, Lynea has managed to live with over 28,000 cats. What an unbelievable record!

How on earth does she have the energy to do so?!

You can’t really call me a crazy cat lady – I’m obsessive! I’d rather have 800 cats than another man. I don’t need a man in my life.
