I don't mean to sound cruel but it sounds like your friend's mom has some issues that need to be addressed. Having *that* many pets (regardless of the species), living in squalor, not looking out for their well-being (allowing them to breed freely, not spay/neutering) and giving up adult pets in favor of babies all point to hoarding, which is usually a symptom of mental illness.
You're doing the right thing by reporting here and quite honestly, I think that you should continue to do so until action is taken. The animals in her care deserve better and quite frankly, so does she.
I'm wishing you all the best!
