Emily Phillips, 12, discovered the cats while walking around the block.
“I thought it was really mean,” she said.
“She went in that house and discovered the cats were in there. She came home crying,” her sister, Ashlee Phillips, said.
Animal Control said it found dogs in cages at a home in Boiling Springs, and more cats in a barn.
