From the dog and cat files, we bring you yet another home in Dearborn found filled with animals.  This time the home was an abadonded one and with 20 cats inside, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The good news is that at least the cats were found and that we have a fantastic group of people at the Dearborn Animal Shelter who will work to find the animals a safe, new home.
