Police: 46 cats, 10 dead kittens removed from Lincoln home

lincoln-policeLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say 46 living cats and 10 dead kittens have been removed from a Lincoln home.

Police responded to the home last week after a UPS driver reported that the home smelled like someone may have died inside. Officer Katie Flood says a woman who lives at the home allowed officers to walk through the home, and they found cats and the home to be in general disarray. The woman was told she had a week to clean up the home and that police would follow up.

Sgt. Randy Clark says 46 cats were taken from the home Monday, along with 10 dead kittens.

Animal Control Manager Steve Beal says that the cats are with the Capital Humane Society. Beal says no citations have been issued, and an investigation is ongoing.
