More than 100 dead cats have reportedly been discovered in a freezer or buried in a garden at a “house of horror” in southern France.<\/p>\n

Sixty-seven feline corpses were found in a chest freezer in a chalet next to the home and on the same grounds, it is believed.<\/p>\n

An animal protection group, called AEPA, said it also discovered 38 cats<\/strong> – including 12 kittens and one pregnant adult – alive but in need of care, with some showing signs of typhus, which is highly infectious and can be fatal.<\/p>\n

“They lived in the dirt at this… house for several years, deprived of care,” the group said.<\/p>\n

The organisation called it a “house of horror” after making the discovery on Tuesday in La Roquette-sur-Siagne, about five miles north of Cannes.<\/p>\n

French broadcaster BFM reported another 50 cats were discovered buried in the garden, while police detained a 66-year-old man at the address before releasing him on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

France 3 Cote d-Azur added the man was also taken for a psychiatric assessment.<\/p>\n

AEPA had reportedly been investigating the site since December 2023, gathering information until it felt it had enough to inform police and search the grounds.<\/p>\n

The group claimed it was already aware of the home from previous incidents in 2019, when 58 cats were recovered, and 2021.<\/p>\n

“We investigated, we noticed strong odours, a lot of meowing, so we called the police, who came to observe the same odours,” it told BFM.<\/p>\n

“After two months, we obtained the search yesterday by the gendarmes.”<\/p>\n

The man reportedly kept a register of his cats, which he called “his loves”, according to France 3.<\/p>\n

A volunteer told the outlet they initially found 15 cats who were “all in a bad shape” and “eaten away by illness”.<\/p>\n

“But when I opened the freezer in one of the chalets, we understood that it was much more serious,” they added.<\/p>\n

“When we took the cats out of the freezer, he didn’t understand the problem, he said that he had given them eternal life.”<\/p>\n

AEPA says all surviving cats will need to be sterilised and cared for until they can be put up for adoption.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
