SAN ANTONIO — Workers with Animal Care Services are working to remove dozens of cats found in a home on the Northeast Side Thursday morning.

ACS spokeswoman Lisa Norwood said workers had gone to the home in the 2800 block of Shadow Way around 11:45 a.m. after receiving complaints about foul smells and numerous cats in the area.

Norwood said officials have not yet determined exactly how many animals were being kept at the property, but there appears to be somewhere between 30 and 50.

D’ann Trethan, who lives in the house with the cats, said Animal Care Services came to the house on Wednesday to see if it would pass an inspection.

1. As someone who loves cats

-- and this would apply equally to the dog lovers -- it is beyond distressing to see someone who claims to love animals and who lets them live in such awful conditions.

There must be a special circle in Hell for people like this.

2. So sad.

Traumatizing for both the cats and the hoarders.
