The Nebraska Humane Society rescued 25 cats from a west Omaha home and is now looking for the person who last lived there. A tip led the humane society to get a search warrant for the home at 15439 Farnam Circle on Feb 14. The cat rescue continued into Tuesday evening, to make sure any hidden cats were found. The person who lived there moved out and does not own the home, said Pam Wiese, a spokeswoman for the humane society. No one else was living there.

The house was found in filthy condition with overflowing litter pans and feces all over the floor. The smell of ammonia was detectable from the outside.

The cats are not exhibiting life-threatening injuries, but they will have to wait a few days before they can be examined so they can calm down. The owner of the cats faces possible charges of animal cruelty and other misdemeanor charges, Wiese said.

One dead cat was also found at the home.
