The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and Escambia County Animal Control responded to the apparently abandoned home that had no power in the 8000 block of Occie Phillips Road.
A spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a freezer was found outside the home on a back porch. However, there was no confirmation that any animal remains were in the freezer, and there was no criminal case opened.
Escambia County Animal Control said eight cats and kittens and three young dogs were removed from the property. All were reported to be in good health due to being fed by neighbors.
Animal control said the department had previously responded to the home and posted a notice on the front door about the animals.
Neighbors said the residents of the home had moved out a few weeks ago.
