Animal control officials responded to a case of cat hoarding in Pawtucket. Almost 40 cats were removed from a mobile home April 23, 2005.

Two cats were found dead and some had to be euthanized. The others are being treated at an animal hospital.

Animal control officers said the couple who live in the home have been reported for hoarding before.

Two years ago, animal control officers removed 25 cats from the home.

The couple could face animal cruelty charges because none of the cats were vaccinated.
