Dozens of cats and two dogs have been rescued from rural property by a Calgary-based animal charity.

The Canadian Animal Task Force said a northern Alberta man died a few weeks ago.

With no one able to take over care of the animals, his family contacted the organization.

The charity jumped into action and drove five hours north of the city to the property.

When they arrived, the group said the felines were extremely hungry and were even jumping on their vehicle.

By the time volunteers rounded them all up, they realized they had 45 cats and two dogs.

All of them arrived safely in Calgary on Wednesday night and will undergo medical treatment.
