A Florida woman was arrested on multiple charges of animal cruelty and child abuse after officers discovered 300 rats in her home.

Shannon Marie Morgan,38, was arrested last week after police responded to an animal cruelty complaint. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that deputies found glass aquariums containing snakes and noted the floor was slippery due to the feces and urine throughout Morgan’s home. Additionally, a child was present during the search and the home smelled of ammonia.

‘They initially observed several cages and glass aquariums containing snakes and rodents but also saw rats and cats running freely in the home. It was blatantly obvious; these animals were deprived of all their basic necessities. Throughout the house officials were taken aback by the other deplorable conditions such as trash, dirty dishes, and rotten food scattered all throughout the residence, causing more roaches and flies to pervade the area,’
