Following up on a complaint in June, animal control officers took dozens of cats and nine dogs from Mr. Miller's property. All were sick and had to be destroyed.

In addition, Mr. Miller had stored more than 100 dead cats on his property, some of which were removed by animal control officials.

Mr. Miller spent most of his monthly Social Security check to care for the animals. He said he knew his ''kitties'' by name and often shared tubs of frozen yogurt and ice cream with them.

Mr. Humphrey said three of the animals recently confiscated from Mr. Miller are in such poor health that they need to be euthanized.

''Our assumption is they were (other people's) house pets. We have not been able to prove ownership of the animals,'' he said. Each charge carries a maximum fine of $750 and nine months in jail, Mr. Humphrey said.
