Some shelters in northern states are actually importing dogs from
southern shelters. Not cats, though. I did get my last FeLV+ cat (RIP
sweet Brock) from a shelter nearly 2 hours away. He was there 3 months
before I adopted him.

Part of the issue it that we don't have anyone
physically "there", and familiar with the area and it's resources.
Someone who could connect with this family and facilitate what CAN be
accomplished.
I know around here, no-one would be able to do
what you suggest, housing a mixed group of animals for an undetermined
time would basically put most of their rescue work on hold. They're
not set up for long-term fosters of groups of animals, especially for
an undetermined time.
BUT! If you could connect with those groups
near you, they might have contacts in the Charleston area that could
do the same thing. Rescues are often networked with other similar
organizations, and work in similar ways. Most I work with are "foster
based", meaning they take one or two pets, and place them in private
homes while working to find permanent placement. What this family
needs is a "group home". A place that has no resident animals, but is
willing to take on take 6 animals with no idea for how long. I would
LOVE to be wrong, so maybe the groups you know can lead the way...
