Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Oakland City, Atlanta, GA

Will repairs be needed after cleanup?

Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.

What is the ammonia smell in the house?

It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.

Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?

Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.

Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?

Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.

What is animal hoarding?

Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.

How should I treat the person who kept the animals?

With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
