SACRAMENTO – Police arrested a 47-year-old man Saturday morning after finding about 300 dead cats stuffed into freezers in his house.
Thirty other cats were found alive and were removed from the south Sacramento home by city animal control workers.
Michael Louis Vondueren, 47, was arrested on suspicion of possession of an automatic weapon and obstructing police officers.
Police Sgt. Jim Hose said Vondueren interfered with officers who attempted to enter his home on the 4700 block of 19th Street about 8:30 a.m.
Once inside the home, Hose said officers found three freezers crammed with hundreds of dead cats. Hose said the house was littered with cat feces.
An 81-year-old woman described as Vondueren's mother also was living in the house.
Hose said animal control was looking into citing Vondueren on additional charges.
