The Star-Ledger of Newark reports Oughton also volunteered to pay for care for the animals. A shelter is being set up in nearby Mendham.
Oughton was charged with 186 counts of animal cruelty last month after police and SPCA officers, acting on a tip, discovered 93 cats in the house. Twenty-two cats were removed from the house that day and remain at a veterinary hospital.
Oughton has pleaded not guilty.
