The animals were found by the property’s landlord in squalid conditions after their owner Laura Tate had moved out and left them.
Photos of a horrific flat where a cat and dog were left to die have been released by animal welfare officers.
Both of the animals were decomposing at the flat on Union Street in Liverpool city centre and had most likely been dead for several days. The photos released by the RSPCA showed the flat covered in waste with litter and empty bags of pet food strewn on the floor. Inspector Cooper said: "On approach to the door of the flat I could smell a strong, foul smell which smelt like rotting flesh. This smell increased when the door was opened and when I went inside it was overpowering."
“However, it is reasonable to conclude they died while housed within the flat and at that time they did not have access to drinking water and the environment was unsuitable by virtue of numerous faeces deposits and physical injury hazards such as sharp edged tin cans and shards of glass.
