An 84-year-old woman living in a filthy house with no heat told a deputy on Thanksgiving that she tried to keep warm at night by getting her 66 cats to lay on her.
The woman’s daughter was arrested after officials found her mother living in “deplorable conditions” in the New Smyrna Beach mobile home, Volusia County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Brandon Haught said. Mary Bosket, 54, is being held on a charge of neglect of the elderly and $10,000 bond.
Deputies said Mary Phillips was found Thanksgiving morning living with 66 cats, 15 turkeys, 20 ducks, 13 gerbils and a dog. Animal control officers took the animals to the Halifax Humane Society.
