A drug bust in Houma, Louisiana led to the discovery of 133 cats living inside a squalid home covered in feces.
Every surviving cat discovered had to be put to sleep upon arrival at the animal shelter.
It took days for the police to remove the cats from the property.
Lafourche Parish Drug Task Force raided the home of Sandy Chauvin and her sons Nicholas and Christian Chauvin on January 13.
There they discovered a lab used for producing methamphetamine and an unsanitary number of cats.
The drug task force also found seven dead cats hidden in the squalid environment.
Sandy Chauvin, 60, was charged with five counts of aggravated cruelty to animals
Christian Chauvin (left) and Nicholas Chauvin (right) were arrested for drug charges
There were also five cats which appeared to have 'serious health issues and injuries.'
The kitties were transported to Lafourche Parish Animal Shelter but all had to be euthanized because of their condition.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office reports the was a: 'large amount of fecal matter was discovered throughout the residence' at 160 Sandy Lane.
All three were arrested for creation or operation of a clandestine lab for a controlled, dangerous substance.
Sandy, 60, was charged with five counts of aggravated cruelty to animals. She was charged on February 1 and was released from jail Wednesday after posting a $40,000 bond.
Nicholas, 35, was charged with distribution of methamphetamine. Police originally went to the home because there were two active warrants out for his arrest.
Christian Chauvin, 43, was released four days later after posting $50,000 bond and his brother was released the day after on a $85,000 bond.
