1 kitten survives in house where 96 cats were found dead

Dec. 4, 2005 12:00 AM

One kitten is the lone survivor among 131 cats found at a west Phoenix house.

Ninety-six cats were found dead Friday at Scott Antunez's house, including 92 sealed in plastic bags inside a freezer that was not working, Arizona Humane Society spokeswoman Angela Stringfellow said.

Thirty-five cats were alive, but all except the kitten have since been euthanized because they were uncontrollably wild and attacked animal medical technicians, Stringfellow said.

Police have cited Antunez, who lives near 85th Avenue and Palm Lane, with six misdemeanors on suspicion of animal cruelty and neglect, Stringfellow said.

Society officials are performing necropsies on the cats to look for signs of intentional harm.
