More than 100 rabbits have been rescued from a home in Tennessee after an “overwhelmed” owner asked for help rehoming them.

On Tuesday, Aug. 20, the Humane Society of the United States and the McKamey Animal Center arrived at the residence in Chattanooga, where they found the homeowner and the large number of animals “living in extremely unsanitary conditions,” per a press release.

“The rabbits appeared to suffer from a variety of ailments including flea infestations, hair loss and injuries typical of overcrowding,” the press release stated, adding that “multiple nursing litters and rabbits of various ages were found burrowing in furniture throughout the residence.”

Veterinarians, according to the press release, indicated that several rabbits could also be pregnant.
