A Perinton couple have been arrested by Humane Law Enforcement investigators after over 100 cats were found in their home following a house fire.
The fire back in January on Kreag Road led to the discovery of dozens of cats and kittens living in unsanitary and inhumane conditions.
Lollypop Farm staff says they were called to the house and found areas where feces had built up to being inches thick.
Several dead cats were also found, appearing to have died and decomposed prior to the fire.
George and Pamela Meyer have been charged with failure to provide sustenance (veterinary services) and ordered to appear at Perinton Town Court on April 13th.
