The society’s Jeane Jae says the felines range from newborn kittens to adult cats. They were to be taken to a Humane Society location for exams, treatment and care.
The Humane Society was alerted to the property from St. Louis County animal control and other offices.
Jae says the organization hopes to adopt out as many of the cats as possible.
There was no immediate word on any charges against the property owner, who was not identified.
