A New York woman faces charges of animal cruelty and endangering the welfare of an elderly person over accusations that she hoarded 200 animals in a house with a 95-year-old.

Detectives executed a search warrant at the Northport, New York, home of Samantha Boyd, 57, on Oct. 1, a state-certified wildlife rehabilitator, according to a release from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

There were 206 wild and domestic animals inside the home.

The animals included cats, chickens, chinchillas, chipmunks, cockatoos, crows, dogs, doves, ducks, ferrets, flying squirrels, geese, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, parakeets, parrots, pigeons, quail, rabbits, rooster, squirrels, starlings, tortoises, turkeys, voles and other species.

Ms. Boyd is accused of keeping the animals in cages caked with waste and filth, crowded and with unclean sources of food and water.

Prosecutors also alleged that the home was full of trash, waste and other debris, that insects, spiders and other pests were rampant, and that a 95-year-old woman was living on the second floor unable to get through the debris.

Ms. Boyd’s partner Neal Weschler, 61, also faces charges of animal cruelty. The elderly woman is Ms. Boyd’s mother, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said.

She was rescued and is doing well, Mr. Tierney said, according to WNBC-TV.

The 206 animals were successfully removed from the home and relocated elsewhere with the help of nonprofits.

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation told the New York Times that Ms. Boyd has no history of infractions related to her rehabilitator license. The agency helped remove the animals and is investigating the case further.

One nonprofit group called Ms. Boyd’s house a fake rescue and alleged some of the animals had medical infections at the time the warrant was executed.

“Humane Long Island is proud to assist … in shuttering this fraudulent rescue and saving these long-neglected animals, who were languishing in their own filth with bone infections and staph infections. Humane Long Island will provide them with veterinary care that they so desperately need after they were obviously denied even the most basic care,” Humane Long Island Executive Director John Di Leonardo said in the release.
