D.C. Woman's House Overrun By Too Many Cats

The cute little kittens are now being cared for with plenty of food and water, but the Washington Humane Society said last week they were living in an unkempt northwest D.C. rowhouse overrun with cats.

“The conditions were pretty filthy inside the house,” said Washington Humane Society law enforcement officer Jennifer Gardner. “With that many cats, there’s obviously not a whole lot of litter boxes being used, so they were going to the bathroom all over the house.” After a tip, Humane Society officers raided the house June 9 and found 55 cats living in every nook and cranny of the home, including one in a broken oven and another peering down from the ceiling.

“They were getting into fights with each other, so a lot of them had injuries,” said Gardner. “And then also with having a large number of cats, disease is just really rampant.”
