HARTFORD, Conn. -- Kittens were being born at a home in Winsted, Connecticut, even as the Winchester Police Department removed some 200 cats from the dwelling that was infested with fleas, the stench of urine so strong that it was overbearing, even in a Hazmat suit and mask.
There were dead cats in the freezer, sick and dying cats all around and it took two weeks to get the cats out of the walls.
Four people are charged with 106 counts of cruelty to animals each in the case that shocked the region. They are also charged with risk of injury to a minor as there were two children, 10 and 6, living in the house.
