TORONTO – A 63-year-old Toronto woman is facing charges after dozens of cats were removed from a midtown home on Monday.
Police say they were called on Sunday by a federal election pollster who noticed a foul odour emanating from a residence on Manor Road, near Davisville Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road.
Police and Toronto firefighters responded and after gaining access to the home, found between 50 and 60 cats.
Police say it was determined that the odour was from cat feces and urine which had caused damage to the home.
Investigators say the animals were removed from the home by the OSPCA with the owner’s consent.
A woman has been charged with cruelty to animals and causing unnecessary suffering to animals and is to appear in court in June.
