The NYPD said they were called at about 5:26 p.m. at American Self Storage in Long Island City after a man said he found multiple dead cats inside a unit he had won in a bid, according to WPIX.
Officers responded to location and discovered at least 40 frozen corpses of cats inside, according to police.
Police said the unit belonged to a woman who recently stopped paying rent on it. She has not been taken into custody at this time.
NYPD Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad and ASPCA are investigating.
