Dozens of cats are being cared for by local animal shelters and hospitals after being removed from a home in Derby.

Shelton Animal Control says 44 cats were removed from a home on Hawkins Street and many were taken to their facility.

A few dead cats were found at the house and several other cats had to be put down.

Many of the cats have health issues as a result of the living situation.

The owner of the home was charged with 10 counts of animal cruelty but that may increase.

The house has since been condemned.
