Denise Abernathy Sandor and Martin Sandor were arrested and charged with cruelty to animals.
Metro Animal Care & Control, along with MNPD, executed a search warrant at the 303 28th Street home of Denise & Martin Sandor in Old Hickory, which was without electricity or running water. MACC removed 15 adult cats, 3 juvenile kittens, and 1 neonate kitten.
Officials saw the cats were living in deplorable conditions, the home had feces and urine throughout, and a very strong odor of ammonia. A majority of the cats were underweight and had skin infections from untreated parasite infections. Many also had untreated mouth inflammation, which is a very painful condition, along with chronic upper respiratory infection.
Both defendants were ROR’d, and will appear in court on November 7th.
