All 31 cats taken from Lincoln home euthanized

LINCOLN - Now an update to a story we brought you yesterday. The 31 cats taken from a Lincoln home have all been euthanized.

In a statement from the Capital Humane Society, a spokesperson says all cats tested positive for a highly contagious viral disease.

They say keeping the cats alive would have posed a risk to the entire feline population at the shelter.

The animals were taken from the home on Tuesday, after authorities received a tip on the cats.

No citations have been filed as of now, but Animal Control says a number different citations could be issued moving forward.
