GOLDEN VALLEY, Minnesota – Dozens of cats were rescued from an overcrowded home in northern Minnesota on Wednesday.
The Animal Humane Society says its humane research team found 55 cats living in a “cramped single-family home.”
The shelter reports that most of the cats appeared generally healthy, but some were being treated for respiratory diseases, which can spread quickly in overcrowded areas.

The shelter says the owner voluntarily released the cats to ensure they receive the medical and behavioral care they need.
The Animal Humane Society is seeking donations to care for the impaired cats and give them all a fresh start.
In August, the Animal Humane Society received one $15,000 grant from Petco Love to support their work for critters around the Twin Cities.
The Golden Valley-based animal shelter says it helps nearly 100,000 animals each year through shelters, essential programs and services to keep pets and people together. Last year alone, the Animal Humane Society took in more than 13,000 pets.
