More than 70 cats rescued from Grant County, Wash., home

SULTAN, Wash. (AP) - An animal welfare organization says more than 70 cats and kittens have been rescued from a Grant County, Washington, home and taken to a shelter for treatment.

KOMO-TV reports (https://is.gd/23sI6S ) that Pasado’s Safe Haven says the cats were living in a home in Electric City. They were removed Monday.

KOMO says the house was full of feces, urine and garbage.

Pasado’s workers coordinated the rescue operation with local law enforcement and animal welfare organizations.

Veterinary technicians say many of the cats appear to have some type of upper respiratory infection, as well as parasites.

The cat’s owner reportedly is cooperating with police.
