The ASPCA pulled more than 100 cats from three overcrowded New York City homes in a single-day operation, working with owners who had lost control of a growing cat population.
Why it matters
The rescue is part of a larger push: since June, the ASPCA says it has helped more than 300 at-risk animals, mostly cats, across the five boroughs through its partnership with the NYPD.
What to watch
The cats are being treated at an ASPCA facility in Ohio and will be made available for adoption once they've been cleared medically.
