PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The Pennsylvania SPCA says they have removed 17 cats and six dogs from a home in the city's Kensington section after the animals were allegedly found living in unsanitary conditions.

PSPCA Humane Law Enforcement officials went to the home on the 2000 block of Pacific Street on Tuesday after receiving a tip. When they arrived, they found the 23 animals, including five 4-week-old kittens and four puppies under 6 months of age.
