I only have two cats, and it's hard to keep that litter box smell under control. I shudder to imagine the stench that 62 cats would produce.

Ping!

We have a Siamese cat that was rescued from this type of situation. Siameserescue.org is a nationwide group of folks that will take in Siamese cats and find them homes. They have a 100% placement record with 0 kills.

If they are not too far gone down the feral path, these types of cats crave attention and become wonderful pets.

At one time, I had 28 cats, but none were in the house. They divided their time between the house and barn, hunting some, but mostly waiting for their catfood in the evenings.

I got the females fixed, and today, I have 3 left. The oldest, "Sheba", is 16.

I'm begining to believe hording cats is some sort of mental illness, similar to believing wild anti-GOP conspiracy theories. They may look normal but, inside, there are some screws loose.

I would hate to smell his house. I bet the carpet is bad.

I've heard of "bag ladies", well, here are some "bag cats"

I wouldn't want to light a match near that place. There was a house near us where there were a couple dozen cats and the stench was horrible. Rumor had it there was a child in the house with rhumatoid arthritis and that can apparently be caused by allergies. I couldn't help but wonder if that wasn't the cause of it.

I can't believe the city didn't do anything about it for so long. That's totally irresponsible. I don't believe there is any way to get that kind of smell out. The wood has to be saturated with cat pee and spray.

My daughter has one cat, but that one often smells like a "multi-cat household." I can't imagine 62. It would seem the ammonia alone would have killed them all, including the owner. Ugh.

I also have two cats in an apartment. After getting 2 covered litter boxes with doors from PetSmart and hanging a Glade Plug-In nearby, it's easy to keep the odor down to nil with just a couple minutes of 'sifting' attention per day. (Just thought I'd pass on what's worked for me.)
