OMAHA, Neb. - Humane society workers found 117 cats, a raccoon and a rabbit inside a north Omaha house.

The discovery came Wednesday after Council Bluffs, Iowa, police caught the 54-year-old homeowner allegedly stealing cat food. Officials said the woman smelled like cat urine.

Police said the woman has been in trouble before for having too many cats. At one time, humane society pulled more than 200 cats from her house.

Many of the cats taken Wednesday were sick and the floor was covered in feces. Some of the cats were dead.

shocked This was reported by the Associated Press yesterday.

Sounds like yet another case of hoarding disorder. I can understand how some people get overwhelmed just because they think the are helping in the beginning. But the animals are the ones who actually suffer in the end, no matter how good the hoarder's intentions were.

Its awfull.
I have a friend who picks up stray dogs.
I stopped going into her apartment because the place smelled and the dogs are filthy.
She doesn't have many, just two or three, but the condition thay are in and the fact that she shouts at them all the time is ridiculous.

That's so sad. She probably thinks she is saving them too and really does mean to do that. But if she keeps it up she could end up with way more than she can handle. I was once a hoarder with cats, but did finally stop doing that and now have only the amount I can handle physically and financially. Never had 117 of them though.

ouch! that's so sad. the woman had misunderstood about the proper way to save animals, I guess. weren't there any better place to receive the animals? if she really cares about the animals, she should have brought the animals to such places.

surrender cry I agree, but I understand how easily this can happen. They start with a couple of animals and before they realize it things get completly out of hand, If I wasn't careful I would be a hoarder too. I can't go into a shelter of even pet store and look at all the puppies and kittens without thinking I want them all, to give them a loving and safe home. Fortunately I realize this so don't go into those places often. lol
