Staff reports seizing four cats; Selectboard continues follow-up on dogs left at 2416 Lester Whiting Road
Summary
A staff member reported removing four cats from a deceased resident's property and turning them over to the humane society, and described two dogs at Sally King's address living in poor conditions; the board discussed follow-up, tickets and possible escalation to cruelty or game-board review.
S4 (staff member) told the board that after being contacted about 2416 Lester Whiting Road she removed four cats and took them to the humane society following the owner's death. "We ended up taking 4 cats off the property... I took those 4 cats to the humane society and turned them over there," S4 said.
S4 also described ongoing problems at Sally King's property, reporting windows full of water, pans scattered on the floor and food bags cut open, and said she had previously issued a roughly $250 ticket after the dogs had been loose. Board members discussed options including continued monitoring, reissuing tickets, and involving the game board or sheriff if conditions escalate toward neglect or cruelty. S4 said she would follow up with another visit and attempt to obtain contact information for the person claimed to be checking on the dogs.
