 In March 2013 , the Goathouse Refuge was a cover story in the Indy Week paper . The article claims that there are too many cats falling prey to illness , and that the sanctuary is out of control : " One local veterinarian has treated about 35 cats from owners who had recently adopted from the Goathouse . " The author , Lisa Sorg , says that according to former volunteers at the Goathouse Refuge , there are twice as many cats on the premises as recommended by a veterinarian , and that Scarpa makes volunteers sign an anti @-@ defamation agreement and instructs them to lie to state inspectors , among other allegations that Scarpa denied or justified . Just over a day after the article 's release the comments section on the Indy Week website became so heated that Denise Prickett , INDY Editorial Web Director , posted " We have closed comments on this story for the weekend . We will reopen comments Monday morning . All future comments must respond directly to the story and must be civil . Comments that do not follow these guidelines will be removed . "
