City crews descend on cat house in the Beach

WATCH: City crews remove feral cats from a home in the Beach. Peter Kim reports.

TORONTO – Resident living in a Toronto neighbourhood are breathing a little easier after the city stepped in to clean up a major feline problem.

City crews descended on a home in the Beach Wednesday that has been overrun by cats.

They attempted to clean up all the cat feces and stained debris littering the home and the backyard.

However, there are still dozens of feral cats in and around the house and neighbours are furious that the OSPCA isn’t going in to remove them.

The group says it needs more evidence that the cats are coming from the home and are in distress before it can move in.

Neighbours say the owner of the home has lived at the location for over a decade and has always loved cats.
But when word of that spread, people began dumping their unwanted cats on her.

After the home owner’s mother died five years ago, neighbors say the number of cats increased and the house fell into disrepair.
