PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say dozens of cats have been rescued from deplorable conditions in a house in Plattsmouth in eastern Nebraska.
33 cats were seized on Monday. Officials say there were containers full of feces, which also covered walls and a bathtub, and floors were warped because of urine.
Plattsmouth Animal Control officer Sue Baker says the homeowner had 60 cats a few years ago, and had been working with officials to comply with the ordinance. Officials obtained a warrant after learning she was in violation of the ordinance.
Plattsmouth allows two pets per household.
Baker says the homeowner has faced several tragedies in her life and won’t face criminal charges.
