WARREN, Mich., Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Police in a Detroit-area town say they found a woman living in a motel room with 45 dogs and cats.
Tim Herig, the animal control officer of Warren, Mich., told WDIV-TV, Detroit, police got a phone call about the woman. She told investigators Tuesday she had been evicted from her home and had moved into the Motel 6 as a temporary residence.
"He was a friend, concerned for her welfare," Herig said of the tipster. "She knew she would be out of the motel soon so he offered to take her in but could not take all the animals. He didn't realize there were this many."
Animal control officers took 41 cats and four dogs to the Macomb County animal shelter. Herig said many of the cats were packed two to a carrier and all the animals were covered in urine and feces.
The woman is in a hospital where a psychological evaluation has been ordered.
