These are the shocking images of a pet owner's squalor living conditions in Adelaide, where he raised his three cats . In what has been described as a 'confronting case of animal cruelty', these photos were released by RSPCA South Australia on Tuesday . The RSPCA seized the owner's cats in September and further requested to have them all surrendered in their care, The Advertiser reports. However the owner, who's identity has not been revealed, was granted to have two of his cats returned under the RSPCA's supervision. The animal welfare group will be caring and rehoming the third cat. The case was finalised in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court, southern Adelaide, on Tuesday. The owner was further ordered to pay $500 in compensation. RSPCA South Australia detailed how the cats at the property were in poor physical condition when they were seized in September . The pet owner pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to provide appropriate and adequate living conditions for his cats . The cats suffered from high-temperatures, flea-allergy dermatitis and significant respiratory issues when they were found at the property, according to the RSPCA. But this isn't an isolated case as the chief inspector of RSPCA South Australia, Andrea Lewis, told The Advertiser that in the past year they have received more than 1000 similar reports. 'Sadly, RSPCA inspectors and rescue officers are faced with conditions similar to those in this case on a regular basis,' Ms Lewis said. 'They work incredibly hard to remove animals from these conditions, and to provide them with the care they deserve.' Ms Lewis urged anyone with information about animal cruelty to call 1300 477 722 or report it online.
