51 cats seized, home condemned

Delaware County officials responding to complaints from neighbors seized 51 cats Wednesday in a case of animal hoarding.

Lansdowne code enforcement officers and animal control representatives rounded up the flea infested felines from a twin home on the unit block of Marshall Avenue. The home was later declared unfit for habitation. No criminal citations were issued, said Daniel Kortan, chief of police.

The owners of the animals, were intending to sell some of the kittens, said Kortan.

The animals were turned over to the Delaware County SPCA. Officials said the animals appeared to be in "emotionally good condition."
