Va. Police Remove 246 Cats From Two Homes
Mon Jul 11, 6:20 PM ET
FAIRFAX, Va. - Animal control officers have removed 187 cats from a house in Mount Vernon and 59 cats and one dog from a home in Falls Church, authorities said Monday.
In the Mount Vernon case, police went to a home on Ludgate Drive, Friday, to find Ruth Knueven, 82, living inside with 187 cats. Officers said the dead bodies of 86 more were left in trash bins outside.
Most of the surviving cats were sent to an animal shelter, but animal control officers said they have to go back and get some cats that are still living in the walls and chimney.
In another case, officers found 59 cats and a dog at a house on Hillsborough Drive in Falls Church on June 27. The bodies of 29 dead cats were also found on the property where authorities said Jane Baldinger, 58, lived. Animal control officials took the surviving cats and dog into their custody.
In both cases, neighbors complained of foul stenches surrounding the buildings.
Both women have been charged with failure to care for animals. Both homes have been condemned and officials were helping the women find temporary housing.

Ya think? Having one cat is MORE than enough. How that poor dog made it without having a nervous breakdown, I'll never know...

Man, that's no environment to keep a dog in.

How awful. I wonder what's going to happen with the cats and the dog they rescued. I hope they will find people to adopt them, but they need a lot of people...

I don't think the cats were having a picnic there, either.

Both homes have been condemned and officials were helping the women find temporary housing. Am I mean if I say she deserves to have permanent housing in a box 6 feet underground? Or in a rubber room?

Sadly, the cats in most of these squalor houses are basically feral, and almost always have to be put down.

HOWL! If he were not sleeping the sleep of the truly innocent, I would wake up Harm the Wonder Dog to look at that kitten. He would have a fit. He keeps trying to take the driver's seat in his new SUV, but I won't let him.
