Authorities say that many of the cats rescued from a metro home on Wednesday are suffering from respiratory problems.
More than 100 of them were taken from Hanne Kaea's home near 18th and Manderson.
The cats are being housed at the Nebraska Humane Society and the diagnosis of the respiratory problems came Thursday during veterinary check-ups.
The Humane Society's Pam Wiese says, "The issue with that is that if a cat has that, then oftentimes they don't feel like eating and if you don't treat it then they won't eat and if they don't eat then they will get sicker and sicker and it will lead to something much more serious."
The Humane Society will hold the cats until the owner signs over custody of them or challenges in court.
Officials say there are still cats in the home that were too elusive to catch on Wednesday. The Humane Society is working on bringing those cats in as well.
