 A Florida woman is under arrest after police say they found a child and multiple animals living in squalid conditions that included fecal matter, bugs and trash.

Police in Citrus County, Florida, say they responded to an animal cruelty call at the home of 38-year-old Shannon Marie Morgan on Wednesday, WTVT-TV reported.

When authorities from the Citrus County Sheriff's Office arrived on the scene, they were overwhelmed with the smell of ammonia inside the home and found several cages and glass aquariums housing snakes and rodents along with rats and cats that were loose, running around the home.

Authorities say the animals had been deprived of basic necessities, and fecal matter and urine in the house and cages had caused an infestation of roaches and other bugs. In addition to the squalor from the animals, authorities say trash, dirty dishes and rotten food were scattered throughout the home, which was also attracting various bugs.

In one bedroom, police officers found a ferret and a dog in cages that were too small for the animals and found a small child inside another bedroom who was surrounded by bug infested trash on the floor and mattress.
