PORTLAND — A Portland officer says he had to put on his Police Bureau gas mask to enter an apartment where a woman left behind two cats and a mess that included pounds of cat feces.

The Oregonian reported a warrant alleging animal neglect and abandonment was issued for the 56-year-old former tenant, Edna Sue Blair. Police believe she took several more animals when she moved out at the end of January.

The landlord called it “scary in there.”

One of the cats, a 13-week-old female kitten, has been released from an animal hospital to the county shelter. A hospital report said the kitten recovered from fleas, tapeworms and congestion, and has become affectionate.

Court records show Blair was acquitted of animal neglect charges filed in 2011.
