Their owner, who was already the subject of two reports for having accumulated around sixty cats while living in Côte-d’Or, has just received a 6-month suspended prison sentence and an obligation to care for 24 months. It is also forbidden to keep animals. All the animals removed during the two operations were permanently entrusted to the 30 Million Friends Foundation.
