The Capital Humane Society and Gahanna Police removed the cats from a home on Old Ridenour Road Wednesday.

Columbus Humane and Gahanna Police have removed more than 100 cats from a Gahanna home.

Officials were at the residence in the 3600 block of Old Ridenour Road on Wednesday.

Columbus Humane said they removed 111 living cats and 55 deceased cats.

Gahanna police became aware of the large presence of cats at the home back on October 6.

According to a police report, an officer was responding to the home on the report of a vehicle running in the driveway with its lights on and the seat reclined.

The officer attempted to see if someone was in the home when they saw approximately 30 cats inside of an enclosed porch and another 8-10 cats running around the outside.

After knocking on the door, the officer saw 6-10 more cats inside of the home.

The homeowner told the officer he would keep his vehicle running all night if he wanted to because one of his cats was hit and killed by a car.
