As Licenses and Inspections condemned the Olney home as unfit for human habitation the Pennsylvania SPCA spent over six hours removing animals.
This is one of the worst houses I've been in when you take into account the dead cats. It's ridiculous," said George Bengal of the PSPCA.
Fifty dead animals, investigators say including cats, dogs, a pelican and even a fox retrieved from the basement freezer. As for live animals authorities carted out approximately 56 cats, 20 chinchillas, seven dogs, and 18 pigeons inside and around the backyard.
"The dogs apparently didn't like the pigeons in the yard they would chew them, capture them, and she would put them in a cage."
Homeowner Olga Fedorov invited only Action News inside, explaining that the home is under construction, arguing that her pets are her top priority.
"I spare no expense. I don't have a husband or children, they are my children."
As for the dead animals, Fedorov says she picks up road kill and freezes them until they can be disposed of. She argues her rights have been violated in the raid as she was only trying to give the animals a home.
"They call us hoarders or whatever they call us. They are fed, well cared for."
Bengal counters there was no food or water inside the home and says they will be investigating the cause of death of the animals in the freezer.
The animals will be examined by vets here at the PSPCA, Bengal explaining they will save as many as they can.
As for the homeowner, she says she looks forward to a court date where she can plead her case before a judge.
