Man charged after nearly 100 cats, including two dozen dead kittens, are found in his New York home

A suburban New York man has been charged with animal cruelty after authorities say they found nearly 100 cats in his home, including about two dozen dead kittens in a freezer.

Stephen Glantz, 75, surrendered Wednesday to detectives with the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals at a local police precinct, the nonprofit organization said. He was charged with 18 misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals and animal neglect and ordered to appear in court on May 23.

His house, which is about 50 miles east of Manhattan, also was condemned as uninhabitable because of overpowering odors of feces and urine, authorities said.
