The Jackson Heights woman had dogs and cats living in filthy conditions.
Three dead cats were among dozens of animals found in a feces- and urine-saturated residence in Jackson Heights, prosecutors say; the home itself also showed significant signs of disrepairA 56-year-old Queens woman has been charged in an 88-count indictment with animal cruelty, criminal contempt and other crimes for allegedly keeping more than 20 dogs and cats in a filthy, two-story home in Jackson Heights, prosecutors announced Thursday.
According to the charges, police executed a court-authorized search warrant for Grant’s home in May. At the entrance, there was a strong odor of ammonia and multiple dogs could be seen on the first floor, as well as one dead cat under a table. Once inside, officers allegedly observed feces, fur and urine on furniture, as well as the floor. There was an infestation of flies, trash and clutter throughout the first floor, too, according to the investigation.
Grant’s home also showed significant signs of disrepair. The stairs were so damaged that a ladder had to be used by first responders to access the second floor. The first-floor ceiling appeared peeling and rotting due to fluid damage, officials said. The ammonia odor was so strong it caused eye irritation, and members of the NYPD and the ASPCA at the scene had to wear respirators and protective clothing.
"Pets are not collectibles. They require care, adequate food and water, and a clean place to live," Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement."Sadly, this defendant is charged with doing little more than accumulating pets and failing to provide the basic sustenance for life. Three animals are dead as a result of this defendant’s alleged negligence and the others suffered from diseases and other ailments.
