November 9, 2005, a utility worker reported an unbearable smell on the porch of 3717 Fleetwood Avenue, with at least 15 cats clinging to the screens inside. There were also three malnourished dogs in the backyard, as well as the remains of another animal.

The Bureau of Animal Control issued a citation after rescuing the dogs. The homeowner has 24 hours to contact the bureau, or they will return with a search and seizure warrant and take the cats.

Case Updates

Baltimore woman is facing 68 charges including animal cruelty and abuse.
The charges come after the Baltimore City Bureau of Animal Control, operating on a tip, came to the Fleetwood Avenue house November 9, 2005, and removed three malnourished dogs from the backyard.
Animal Control officers returned to the home today with a search warrant and seized five more dogs and 14 cats.
Officer Andre Woolford told Eyewitness News' Richard Sher, "This is the worst odor I have smelled in 18 years in the business. There's nothing but urine and feces all over the house. I had to hold my breath in there. It's horrible."

Repeated attempts to contact that homeowner have been unsuccessful.
