More mistreated animals allegedly found at home humane officers have visited repeatedly

Humane officers responded Thursday to a Washington County home with which they’re very familiar for yet another report of mistreated animals.

In a Chartiers house a judge ordered torn down because it was in such poor condition, they found 15 to 20 cats and kittens.

Humane officers first visited the home a year and a half ago and pulled animals out of deplorable conditions. Then again six months later.

On Thursday, humane officers found even more animals.

“There are several cats and several litters of kittens inside,” said humane officer Glen Thomson. “Total cats and kittens right now, 15 to 20.”

Dogs, cats, rabbits and birds were all removed from this crossroads road home.

William Moore and Marci Klinzing were both charged with dozens of counts of animal cruelty.

"We've tried on several occasions over the past three years to try to get a hold of them and they don't respond," Thomson said.

A judge ordered the home – with its collapsing roof and overgrown yard – to be razed. But instead, humane officers say it has once again become home to more than a dozen animals.

A code enforcement officer on the property who went to post a warning notice could hear those animals and called the Humane Society for help.
