The Ocean County Health Department said it received more than 100 cats and three dogs from a home near Mantoloking and Stuyvesant roads late Thursday evening.
Brick Animal Control and partners took the animals to shelters where the animals will receive veterinary exams over the next few days.
The health department said once the animals have been evaluated they'll be made available for adoption.
Anyone interest in opening their home to a new furry friend can visit the Ocean County Health Department website for updates on the rescued animals and see who's available to take home.
