More than 100 rabbits were rescued from a home in Chattanooga, Tenn. The rabbits were rescued by the Humane Society of the United States and the McKamey Animal Center after an overwhelmed caregiver requested help.

Officials arrived onsite and found the rabbits living in extremely unsanitary conditions. The rabbits were suffering from multiple ailments including flea infestations, hair loss and injuries typical of overcrowding.

Several rabbits were possibly pregnant. Multiple nursing litters and rabbits of various ages were found burrowing in furniture throughout the residence.

The owner had cared for pet rabbits for over 30 years. However, after experiencing a health crisis, he became unable to care for the animals and the population rapidly increased. He then reached out to the McKamey Animal Center, which requested the assistance of the humane society.

The rabbits are being transported to a temporary, emergency shelter by the humane society where veterinarians will conduct in-depth exams and provide necessary medical treatment. Once healthy enough, they will be placed in shelters and rescues where they'll be able to seek adoptive homes.
