In an update on Facebook Live, Chief Animal Control Officer Jessica Moffo from Woodbridge Regional Animal Control said: “We did place all the dogs in rescues in other agencies throughout Connecticut. Halfway Home has the bunnies, the cats and the guinea pig.”

“So far Halfway Home Rescue has taken in seven rabbits, one guinea pig and 14 cats,” a spokesperson for Halfway Home Rescue. “We expect more cats this week as our ACO is still working to remove cats from the home.

“All are underweight. The kittens are very young and need supplemental feedings throughout the day. Everyone was infested with fleas and ear mites, rabbits included. The kittens have upper respiratory infections and are being treated with help from our veterinarians. The rabbits have severely overgrown nails,” they added.

The spokesperson said that, once the animals have been fully vetted and deemed healthy enough for adoption, they will be posted as available.

With more than 50 animals seized and requiring care, animal cruelty charges have been filed against the resident, and the investigation remains ongoing. Some of the animals are already available for adoption while others require some more care and attention before going to a new home.
