Maricopa County sheriff's deputies were forced to wear breathing equipment to enter the residence in Mesa, Arizona, yesterday.


They had been called to check on 64-year-old Maria Elena Cimino.

It's unclear how long Cimino had been dead, but authorities say she apparently died of natural causes.

Sheriff's officials say it appears the woman was a hoarder and the home was in poor condition.

The sheriff's office and the Humane Society are trying to rescue as many of the 31 feral cats and kittens as possible and are deciding where to keep them.

Authorities say many are severely underweight and appear to have upper respiratory infections and conjunctivitis.u00a0
