Campbell, N.Y. \u2014 A woman has been charged after two cats were found abandoned inside a home in unsanitary conditions, according to New York State Police.<\/p>\n
Troopers responded Monday around 5:30 p.m. to a home on Willow Circle in Campbell after receiving a report that two cats had been left inside following the tenant\u2019s eviction several months earlier.<\/p>\n
Police said troopers entered the residence with the property manager and found the animals hiding beneath a bed. The home was covered in animal feces, had no visible source of water and had excessive heat due to a lack of electrical service and air conditioning.<\/p>\n
One of the cats was observed panting heavily and drooling, which police said was consistent with heat-related distress.<\/p>\n
The cats were removed from the home and taken to the Finger Lakes SPCA in Bath for an evaluation and treatment.<\/p>\n
The investigation determined that Ashley A. Wright, 41, of Bath, owned the cats and left them inside the residence after being evicted, according to state police.<\/p>\n
Wright was arrested and charged with two counts of overdriving, torturing and injuring animals; failure to provide proper sustenance, which is a misdemeanor. She was released from custody with an appearance ticket for Campbell Town Court on Aug. 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Campbell, N.Y. \u2014 A woman has been charged after two cats were found abandoned inside a home in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,49,51,50],"class_list":["post-289920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
