The Human Society got tipped off to the case by a neighbor. When the owner was approached, she voluntarily turned over all of the cats.
"The carpets were saturated in urine so much that if you walked into the basement...the ceiling tiles had urine saturated through them," Amber Conklin, a kennel technician at the Humane Society, told 24 Hour News 8.
"(The owner) had about 48 food bowls around the house for the cats to eat out of."
But unlike similar cases where many animals have to be euthanized, everyone involved says these cats are in good health.
Many of the cats are already spayed or neutered, and some are even declawed.
Those at the Humane Society say this case just boils down to one person getting overwhelmed after taking in all these cats.
"There were too many of them in a household with someone who didn't have the financial means or time to properly care for that quantity of cats," said Karen Terpstra of the Humane Society.
The animals will go up for adoption next week for $25 each.
