"They literally found a horror show inside."
That's how Pennsylvania SPCA humane law enforcement director George Bengal described what authorities found inside a stuffy, trash-filled Philadelphia home.
Firefighters responded to the 9100 block of Bickley Road near Welsh and Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia Sunday night to check on the well-being of an elderly man who has lived at the overgrown home for the past two decades who had called family members to let them know that he had fallen and couldn't get up.
When firefighters went inside they found the man, who is in his 70s, unconscious in the hot home with an overwhelming smell.
The man was revived and taken to a local hospital.
After getting a search warrant, crews wearing full body hazmat suits including breathing apparatus entered the home.
"This place is a total, total mess just full of parasites, dead animals, live animals that are sick," Bengal said.
According to the SPCA, there were five living cats, at least three dead cats, buckets of feces, rats and even live bats inside the house. There were also piles of trash, crumbling drywall and collapsing ceiling titles that made cleanup difficult on the crews and gave cats plenty of potential places to hide out.
Bengal said the flea infestation in the home is one of the worst he has ever seen.
The house was condemned by License and Inspections. The SPCA was working with L&I to ensure the safety of its officers before resuming their search of the home Monday afternoon, Bengal said.
Bengal said the presence of bats is a clue that this level of hoarding has been going on for years. The SPCA plans on charging the homeowner with animal cruelty charges.
