Vienna Is for Cat Lovers Comments (2)
VIENNA, Va. (AP) - Authorities have removed more than 40 cats from a home in Vienna.
Officials with the Humane Society in Front Royal asked police to check on the home after a woman recently brought dozens of cats to their facility to be spayed or neutered.
Animal control officers found 47 cats inside the home on Nelson Drive. Police say cat excrement and litter was spread throughout the home; a deceased cat also was found.
Police say 30-year-old Anisa Mustafa was issued a summons Friday for improper care of animals. She faces a maximum fine of $250.
Vienna police spokesman Bill Murray says most of the cats were taken to the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. He says many of the cats have been adopted, but 19 had to be euthanized.
