According to a press release, on June 9, authorities were called to a home on the 10,000 block of Kentucky Highway 56 as well as a home in the 500 block of Sycamore Street to investigate reports of animal cruelty and neglect.
At the home on KY 56, animal control officers found approximately 50 cats living there with inadequate food and water. ACOs described the home as “unsanitary” and riddled with animal feces and urine.
In the release, officials said the cats were showing signs of neglect, and some were near death. The cats were taken to It Takes A Village animal rescue in Owensboro for treatment.
The animal rescue took to Facebook to ask for donations, foster homes, and possible cat adoption.
DCSO said the homeowners were charged with second-degree cruelty to animals.
According to the release, 22 dogs lived in unsanitary conditions at the Sycamore Street home.
Investigators claimed that the dogs were showing signs of neglect, and the area wasn’t large enough for that many dogs. In the press release, the sheriff’s office claimed the homeowner was issued a criminal summons concerning a previous animal cruelty investigation.
Authorities said that the investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.
