67 Dead Cats and 99 Live Cats Taken from NY Home
January 26th, 2013
WRIGHT, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say 67 dead cats and 99 living cats had to be removed from a filthy home in upstate New York.
Officials removed the cats from a home in Wright, near Albany, on Wednesday night.
The Times Union of Albany reports the dead cats were packed in plastic bags in the freezer and the live cats were in crates stacked floor to ceiling.
Sheriff’s deputies went to the home after a neighbor called to complain about the overpowering odor of cat urine and feces.
Charges are being weighed against the cats’ owner.
The manager of the animal shelter that took in the cats said she previously tried to try to help the woman. But she said the woman had “a hoarder mentality.”
Hope those people die
Feel sadden for the animals but this is important for ch40 to post? What about how education relates to occupations?
de ja vous? i swear this happened somewhere else in the last couple of years? poor cats…mental problems need to be addressed …whether holding a gun or frozen dead cat.
***** Galore.
Our federal government should ban cats
Nobody needs more than 7 cats.
@Sue, you should never wish that on anyone.
67 cats x’s 9 lives each= how many counts of unintentional murder by way of mental hoarding?? (i know…ignorant and pathetic comment….possibly a mental one…) joking aside, this is really sad
Nobody needs more than 7 cats? Nobody needs more than 2!! Damn, stacked the dead ones in a freezer, in bags? Were they Ziploc bags to keep the freshness in??
@mike chrusciel. I have 3 cats. Does that mean I should get rid of one?
PLEASE ANYONE WHO HURTS AN ANIMAL DESERVES DEATH!
hoarders
This is important for channel 40 to post so shut up. And obviously you didn’t learn any manners in school so it obviously doesn’t help.
I glad channel 40 posted this story! hoarding animals is terrible and unfair to the animals.
What the hell were they doing?, supplying the local Chinese restaurant?

Tried to help her? It’s a crime, she should have been arrested or charged before!!
