Animal welfare in Maine seized more than 60 cats from a woman
Fox News
A woman in Maine had animal welfare called on her for a second time since 2019. More than 60 cats were seized this time. In 2019, 83 cats and kittens were found.
Concern over the cats’ care drove the state to take away 83 cats and kittens in November 2019. But a judge ultimately ruled that most of the cats should be returned and that the owner didn't violate "permissible standards of care."
This time, a Department of Health and Human Services worker reported the conditions after visiting the house, WGME-TV reported.
Liam Hughes, director of animal welfare for the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, said most of the cats that were seized Wednesday had respiratory issues, ear and eye infections.
