The applicant sought the return of 31 cats removed from her residence by Animal Welfare Services and the revocation of a compliance order.
The respondent issued a Statement of Account for veterinary and boarding costs, which the applicant failed to appeal or pay within the statutory deadlines, resulting in the forfeiture of the cats to the Crown.
The respondent brought a motion to dismiss the applications as moot.
The Board found that the cats were forfeited on August 19, 2025, and the compliance order was revoked by the respondent during the hearing.
Applying the Borowski framework, the Board concluded the applications were moot and declined to exercise its discretion to hear them.
The applications were dismissed.
