The appellant appealed a Statement of Account (SOA) issued by Animal Welfare Services for the costs of boarding and veterinary care for 10 cats removed from her home due to unsanitary and hoarding conditions.
The appellant argued the costs were too high and some medical tests were unnecessary.
The Animal Care Review Board found the costs were reasonable, necessary, and in some cases below market value, relying on the respondent's expert veterinary evidence.
The appeal was dismissed and the SOA was confirmed at $14,966.81.
