More than 300 cats rescued from a single North York apartment are remarkably healthy and social, Toronto Animal Services (TAS) says.

“We haven’t found parasites or illness,” Mary Lou Leiher, with TAS, said Monday. “The good news is we can help all these cats and it shouldn’t take too long.”

Three hundred in the hoard is only an estimate, Leiher said, adding 175 have already been removed to various agencies.

The humans have been taken out of the unit and TAS, along with Toronto Cat Rescue (TCR), is on site feeding and doing litter box duty.

Leiher said the cat owners aren’t facing any charges.

“It’s not the appropriate course of action,” she said.

This is the second cat hoarding case in a month in the city. In late March, 120 cats were rescued from another Toronto home, TCR says.

The legal number of cats allowed in a residence is six and the city has a mobile spay and neuter truck free of charge.

Anyone interested in adopting one of the 300 cats can call 311.
