Dozens Of Cats Removed From Feces-Filled House

Officers found a woman in her 90s sleeping with her son at her feet on a mattress at a home in the 900 block of Penelope Avenue Sunday, according to a report.

Officers said the house reeked of cat urine and was covered in feces.

"You can smell it at the bottom of the road about 30 feet out," Sgt. David Weber told Local 6 News partner Florida Today.

After checking the house, officers ordered at least 40 cats into animal control custody. Also, the homeowner's mother was reportedly treated for flea bites.

Local 6 News reported that since no criminal charges were filed against the homeowner, it's likely that the he could bring the cat colony back into the house.

Investigators said no laws have been broken.

"There's almost 3 inches of cat feces all over the house," a neighbor told Local 6 News. "People shouldn't live there and it's certainly not any more sanitary for the animals either. I really question the procedures that are in place to allow something like that to happen."
