Police say officers and animal control escorted 58-year-old Steven Kwasiborski and his adult son out of the home while executing a search warrant on Oct. 19 at their home at 280 Hecht Drive.
The house has been condemned.
Steven John Kwasiborski (09/06/1959), 58, was charged with one count of felony animal cruelty to 10 or more animals.
Hopefully they are planning on charging him with additional counts of cruelty. This man clearly has mental health issues and he will need to be monitored for several years.
Also, it's not fair to just charge one count per incident. Probably 100 cats and kittens suffered 24 hours a day - many dying - inside this filthy house. Kwasiborski and his son could leave anytime they wished; the cats only got to get out of this ammonia and flea-infested home when they finally died and Kwasiborski would unceremoniously dump their bodies into pails outside his house to rot.
Authorities said the cats were in extremely poor condition, heavily flea infested and using the entire house as a litter box. Several deceased cats and kittens were found in the home.
In the video clip, police say that when cats and kittens would die in Kwasiborski's house of horrors, he would dump them into plastic bins outside his house. Even so, many dead cats and kittens were found inside the house where they likely died of anemia from fleas.
No word on whether Kwasiborski's son will also be charged. Kwasiborski may have more than one son and although the article doesn't mention the name of Kwasiborski's son - who was inside the house with his father when police showed up with the search warrant, Steven John Kwasiborski Jr. (who was born in 1990 making him nearly 30 years old) has photos taken within the last year of him at his dad's house. His address is listed as being the same as his dad's.
Even if Steven Jr. wasn't living at the residence any longer, he KNEW what was going on - the untold suffering - and was therefore complicit in the cruelty inflicted on these animals.
The Madison Heights Police Department coordinated with the Oakland County Animal Shelter to remove the animals and have each cat checked by a licensed veterinarian. Rescue facilities are still needed that will accept some of these cats. Please contact the Madison Heights Animal Shelter at 248-837-2784.
Kwasiborski was given a $20,000 cash/surety bond and has since bonded out. His next scheduled court date is 8 a.m. Nov. 1.
