The appellant appealed Notices of Removal, Decisions to Keep, and a Compliance Order issued by Animal Welfare Services regarding dozens of cats kept in her home.
The Board found that the removals were necessary to alleviate distress, as the home was unsanitary, past compliance orders were ignored, and a veterinarian certified the need for removal.
The Board also upheld the decision to keep the cats in care, finding reasonable grounds to believe they would return to distress if returned, and upheld the order requiring litter substrate for the remaining cats.
