Yea… 80 cats in one home.

One New Jersey SPCA official says it’s probably the worst case he’s ever seen.

An estimated 80 cats and one dog were found living in a home in a million-dollar neighborhood in Morris County.

SPCA spokesman Matthew Stanton says there’s 2 feet of feces in one room of the home on Farm Road in Chester Township. Investigators wore masks to help them breathe through the stench of urine.

Twenty felines were taken to a veterinarian on Thursday. The remaining animals will be removed Friday.

Stanton says charges likely would be filed against the homeowner.

Kinda makes you wonder why only 1 dog.

Oh, that is so heartbreaking. I hope they can find good homes for all those cats – not an easy feat at all.

It’s hard enough to get a home for one cat at times, let alone 80. It is sad, isn’t it?

Wow! 80 cats?!?! You know me and smells…The odors from two cats is overwhelming for me as it is (especially the urine), I can’t imagine 80 of them with 2 feet turds! By the way, WHAT exactly is the point of having animals that you can’t/don’t want to take care of? Just doesn’t seem right.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say we are not viewing the situation in the manner the cat owner was.

I would venture a guess that the owner of said 80 cats thought he/she WAS taking care of them.

Sure, you and I say “WTF!” but we don’t know what their view of reality was.

Not that it makes the actions right, it’s just something to think of.
