I currently have fourteen pets of my own and I am able to take care of all of them properly and spend enough time with them. It helps that they socialize with each other too and some of them don't need or want to be played with. I would say it's hoarding once you have reached a point where you can no longer take care of all of your pets financially and socially.
I positively agree with you. It is a individual situation. I never really tallied my animals in a hoarding sense., but I have 11 animals. Different types mind you, so I could see why people would raise a eyebrow when I would say I have 11. Like you I have the time and help to make sure they are cared for properly. Although I feel bad for all animals needing and home and love, but I know my limitations. I think that is where some people go wrong.
