Pinellas County Animal Control removed 97 cats from a house in Tarpon Springs Thursday after neighbors complained about an odor. The city's building department condemned the house at 759 Seminole Blvd. Tarpon Springs police spokeswoman Sgt. Barbara Templeton said three adults lived at the residence, but officials withheld their names due to histories of mental illness. She said criminal charges were unlikely. At least one cat inside the home had died. Welch Agnew, assistant director of veterinary services for Pinellas Animal Services, said the cats would be examined by a veterinarian before being sent to local shelters, including the SPCA Tampa bay and the Tampa Bay Humane Society.

I wonder how long the neighbors could smell the awful odor before an agency was called.

What a bunch of Sick individuals!! Hope the cats find nicer and more lovable homes for the holidays. If they were mental cases then why the heck are they living unsupervised?????

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
