Abuser names unreleased

Animal control officers have removed 134 cats, six dogs and three children from one home here. Now, the Davis Animal Shelter is now overrun with cats, and the home has been closed as a health hazard.

"You could see cats on top of everything, tables, chairs, Tupperware containers, beds, the floors," said animal cruelty investigator Angela Parkinson.

The shelter is trying to get the animals adopted. "The animals are safe. They are being cared for. We have no intention of doing mass euthanasia," said shelter director DeAnne Hess.

The children are now living with friends, their mother says.
