91 cats were found in a house in Wyandotte, MI. There were no complaints about a cat problem in the house. From the outside, it looked like any normal suburban home, with fresh cut grass, beautiful Spring flowers and an immaculately groomed yard. The owner of the home was seen frequently feeding a stray cat or two.
Inside was a different story. The Dearborn Animal Shelter received an anonymous call about the home owner and "several hundred" cats inside. The kitchen floor, table, counter and appliances were full of cat feces, urine and trash.
Someone convinced the man to go to Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital for medical evaluation.
Many of the cats were euthanized because of their "wild" feral condition and poor health.
Because of the magnitute of the problem, the Michigan Humane Society was called in. They donned hazmat suits as they entered the premises. Cats were EVERYWHERE!!!
According to Debbie McDonald of the Michigan Humane Society, most of the cats had to be euthanized because they were too wild and could not be placed. :(
It all started 3 years ago when the man took in a couple of unspayed/unneutered stray cats. They began inbreeding and the rest, unfortunately, is history! :( :(
