No Animal Cruelty Found in Flea Infested Guilford Condo

Police found no evidence of animal cruelty after investigating a flea infestation at a condo at West River Village, the New Haven Register reports.

Deputy Police Chief Jeff Hutchinson told the Register that two of the three cats in the unit, where neighbors alleged the flea problem originated, were inspected and they found no problems beyond the fleas. The third cat ran away when the officers entered.

Police were called to investigate the unit after a flea-infested carpet was discarded in the trash, causing the bugs to spread to the entire complex at 274 Church St.

According to the paper, police found that the cats were healthy and asked that they be checked by a veterinarian.

No further action would be taken in the case.
