In July 2025, authorities visited the home due to an anonymous caller who requested a welfare check on a girl living in the home.
However, when authorited arrived, they were “immediately overwhelmed by a strong foul odor consistent with the presence of a large number of animals.”
Officers observed 10 or more cats and “large quantities” of cat urine and feces in the house, along with human food, pet food, and trash.
Police found the girl in her bedroom, sitting on a mattress. “The room, like the rest of the house, was heavily soiled with urine, feces, and refuse. The air inside the home was barely breathable due to a strong ammonia odor,” an officer said.
Police said the girl appeared “visibly embarrassed” about the state of the home, and said she could not remember the last time she ate.

No charges for the abuse and neglect of the child?
“In Louisiana, they would just throw it in the gumbo.” There was this guy from West Virginia.
