A serial pet hoarder was indicted on animal cruelty charges for keeping nearly 40 dogs and cats in her filthy Queens home — and she already faced, 56, allegedly had 26 dogs and 12 cats living in her trash-strewn, fly-filled Jackson Heights house with no available water for the pets, according to the Queens District Attorney’s Office. When cops came to Grant’s front door with a search warrant on May 21, they were met with an overwhelming stench of ammonia, prosecutors said.
She was sentenced to three years of probation and banned by a judge from owning any pets until 2028. “I can’t live without animals. I’m not married, I have no children. They are my children,” she told Queens Judge Stephanie Zaro at the time. Grant was arraigned in Queens Supreme Court Wednesday on the 88-count indictment charging her with aggravated cruelty to animals, overdriving, torturing or injuring an animal, criminal contempt and failing to provide proper food and drink to an impounded animal. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz slammed Grant in a statement.
