Dozens of cats are being rescued from what neighbors and animal advocates say is a hoarding situation inside a Brooklyn home.

Neighbors, like Jaimie Conti, said nearly 40 cats were living in deplorable conditions on 63rd Street.

“They were skinny as could be,” Conti said. “The hair was ripped out. They were injured, fighting.”

Conti said she had been caring for the cats since July when her elderly neighbor was hospitalized.

“She’s always had a problem with having a lot of cats, but never this many,” Conti said.

She told News 12 that she hasn’t heard from the neighbor since then, and she called the police multiple times.

“[Police] said they couldn’t do nothing about it because they’re not animal control,” said Conti.

Conti claimed it wasn’t until she reached out to advocates, like AMA Animal Rescue, who then contacted police to track down the homeowner, who surrendered the cats this week.

Michele Walsh, a board member with AMA Animal Rescue, said there are so many situations like this.

“Just in the last two months, we worked on three cases like this; and then of course the additional one in Mill Basin makes four,” said Walsh. “In just a couple of months, these are the ones we know about. Imagine the ones that we don’t know about.”

NYC Animal Care Centers was on scene Friday removing some of the felines from the home.

“I’ve been very upset about [this situation] because this was not right,” said Conti.

Walsh said the cats will be vetted and treated before they’re put up for adoption.
