The appellant appealed several compliance orders, the removal of over 70 cats from her home, and multiple Statements of Account issued by Animal Welfare Services.
The Animal Care Review Board found that the first removal of 38 cats was justified due to severe distress caused by unsanitary conditions and high ammonia levels.
However, the Board found insufficient evidence to justify the second removal of 32 cats.
The Board varied the Statements of Account, striking out boarding costs due to lack of evidentiary support, reducing the total to $20,768.48.
The Board ordered the return of four older cats, subject to the appellant paying their proportionate share of the costs, with the remaining cats to be forfeited if the balance is not paid.
