Police found 74 dead cats and rescued 150 live cats and other animals from their home in Middle River – about 10 miles northeast of Baltimore.
Police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Peach said officials recovered 76 live cats and 15 dead cats from a shed in an Oct. 9 search. More animals were recovered on Oct. 17 after police obtained a second search warrant.
Some rescued cats have died since they were removed, but Peach was not sure how many.
