PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — More than 30 cats are up for adoption at ACCT Philly after they were rescued from a home in South Philadelphia.
According to our newsgathering partners at NBC10, firefighters were called to a house on Mifflin Street for reports of a dead person. When they went inside, they discovered 33 cats — twice the number of pets a person can legally have in the city.
Mikayla Allen, communications coordinator with ACCT Philly, told NBC10 it takes in 20 to 30 cats a day.
“So having 30 cats come in, in one house. Plus the 30 that are coming in on a daily basis, that’s 60 cats,” Allen said.
The cats, nicknamed the “Mifflin Muffin Crew” are all caught up on vaccinations and ready for adoption at ACCT’s Hunting Park location. Two have already found their furever homes.
