28 Cats Found In Howard County Home

ELKRIDGE, Md. (AP) ― Howard County Police have found 28 cats and a guinea pig in a home in Elkridge. Two dead cats were found in a freezer.

It happened Wednesday in the 8000 block of Keeton Road. Police were called to the home by a neighbor who had not seen the residents for several days. The neighbor also reported an odor.

An elderly woman living at the home was taken to a local hospital for observation.

The 17 cats, 11 kittens and guinea pig were evaluated by a veterinarian; 10 cats were referred for further evaluation or treatment.

The owner of the animals, who was not at the home when police arrived, agreed to sign over most of the animals to Howard County Animal Control.
