A woman who allowed cats and dogs to suffer at her faeces-strewn home in Blackpool has received a suspended prison sentence.
Two female cats and nine adult dogs were discovered living in squalor at a property in Butler Street, Blackpool on June 30, 2022.

RSPCA inspectors said there was so much animal faeces on the floor that officers were unable to freely move around without stepping in it.

In his witness statement, RSPCA inspector Will Lamping said: “I couldn’t see any clean place for the dogs to lie as the ground and crates were soiled with faeces, as were the sofa and chairs.
