Synopsis: Somerset CART assisted the HSPO with a cat hoarding situation discovered in a local hotel.
Description: While serving an eviction notice, the manage of the Knights Inn discovered that the long-stay residents of two rooms in the hotel had 60 to 80 cats and one dog living with them in the rooms. The conditions were extremely unsanitary. Borough Police were called and the HSPO and CART were requested. We entered the room (in full PPE) with a member of the HPO team to do an initial assessment and remove a cat that was injured. The cats were under weight and showing signs of URI. The floors and every surface were covered with feces and garbage. The HPO arranged for rescues to remove all of the cats and the dog.
