A Floyd County woman was arrested on felony cruelty to animals and misdemeanor contribution to the deprivation of a child charges Thursday after an incident on Morton Bend road, reports stated.

According to Floyd County Jail reports:

Pamela Sue Massey, 51, is charged with felony aggravated cruelty to animals after “she failed to provide necessary care for a small cat. The feline was found with prominent ribs, spine and an improperly healed broken leg.”

She was further charged with misdemeanor deprivation of a minor, “when she allowed her 14 year old minor child to live in beyond deplorable conditions. The home smells strongly of ammonia, urine, feces and deceased animals. Trash covers the floor with dead rats in the freezer.” She is being held without bail.
