Only about 6% of homes in Sacramento are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Rainfall in Westlake averages only about 19 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.

- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Westlake, Sacramento, CA
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
What happens to deceased animals found in the home?
They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.
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.
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.
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.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
Only if the area is small, the surface is hard and the air is easy to breathe, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, soaked floors, strong odor or pests call for a crew.
