Summary
"A strong stench led to the horrifying discovery of 28 deceased and over 50 sick cats in a Long Island home. Many cats suffered from upper respiratory infections or feline diseases like FIV or FELV, with three needing euthanization last night due to their severe condition. The house lacked power, contributing to ammonia levels that caused the foul odor, and videos showed kittens inside chewy boxes where food was left for stray cats. Neighbors reported the couple had been feeding strays before bringing them indoors, and the wife's recent death left the husband struggling alone. Surviving cats will be available for adoption once the investigation concludes."
