About 15 cats were supposed to be inside a home in Youngstown, waiting for Animal Charity of Ohio to make room for them at its shelter, but only two were there when they went back to the Lynn Avenue home Wednesday.

Animal Charity and the Youngstown Police Department responded to that home Monday.

Youngstown police said the home was filled with feces and trash.

Animal Charity spent the last two days creating room in their shelter for those 15 cats. Animal Charity Director and Humane Agent Jane MacMurchy told 21 News Monday that they have been constantly moving things around to make room for all the animals coming into their facility. She floated the possibility of having to move desks and equipment outside to make room.

The shelter was prepared to remove the cats Wednesday but only two were there.

MacMurchy says they receive 12 to 40 calls a day for hoarding cases.

"We have to find room. We have to have more staff and volunteers and we have people here longer hours and working overtime to care for all of these animals." MacMurchy said. "It's not just about coming in once and cleaning them and being done for the day. No, the dogs are being walked multiple times a day, their cages, enclosures, runs and the cat kennels are getting cleaned multiple times a day."

Animal Charity staff sometimes work more than 12 hours to take care of the animals.

MacMurchy says the burden on the organization at the moment is huge but they lean on each other and make it work.
