A family who decided to adopt nearly 20 cats in lockdown have now had their house converted into a rescue centre where they live - with more than 130 felines.
Tina Lewis, 54, runs Filey Cat Rescue in the North Yorkshire coastal town with husband Mark, 68, and daughter Kate, 23.
The family decided to rescue 18 cats from a farm in lockdown.
But two years later, they have to convert the detached farmhouse where Tina had lived since she was a child into a rescue centre.
Tina currently looks after around 132 cats that live in her home, but that number is expected to increase - as several of the cats are pregnant.
Their entire home has been taken over by cats - a litter of kittens live in the bathroom and the attic has been turned into a mini vets where one cat had a blood transfusion.
Tina has also moved out of her bedroom into her dining room so she can look after even more cats.
But she has said that she only expected to have 'eight or nine cats in at a time' but now it's 'absolutely mad and mental.'
