NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say they've removed 50 cats from an abandoned home after a neighbor complained to police about an overwhelming odor next door.
Investigators in North Tonawanda tell the Niagara Gazette that police were called to the ramshackle home last Friday by the neighbor.
Officials say they removed 50 cats over two days from the house, where they found the animals surrounded by months of piled up feces, a flooded basement and missing sections of the roof. Authorities say the home had no heat or running water.
Investigators believe the property's owner dropped off water and food for the cats. The homeowner hasn't been charged.
The cats are being cared for by a local animal welfare group. Most of the cats are expected to be adopted.
