More than 30 cats rescued from South Philly home are available for adoption at ACCT Philly

Dozens of cats are looking for homes at ACCT Philly after they were found living in a house in South Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Fire Department responded to a call about a death at the residence last week and found more than 30 cats living there. Due to the "unexpected and overwhelming situation," according to ACCT Philly, the fire department quickly incited the help of the local shelter.

On Thursday, ACCT Philly's animal protection officers went to the house to secure and transport the felines. They were initially able to catch 27 cats, and set up traps that were able to catch six more in the following days, shelter spokesperson Mikayla Allen said Monday. 

The 33 cats that were found in the home have since received medical evaluations. They were all "pretty healthy looking with little to no injuries," Allen said. Their ages range from 7 months to about 8 years old, but most of them are between 1 and 2 years old. 

All of the cats are now available for adoption at ACCT Philly, located at 111 W. Hunting Park Ave. in North Philadelphia. Information about each of the kitties can be found online on the shelter's "available cats" page. The cats rescued from the South Philly home have numbers next to their names on the site.
