Target: Indiana County District Attorney Robert F. Manzi, Jr., Pennsylvania
Goal: Ensure full prosecution of individuals reportedly responsible for neglecting over 200 cats at an animal rescue center.
Over 200 cats were reportedly found living in deplorable conditions at an animal rescue center, suffering from neglect, illness, and unsanitary environments. The animals were allegedly housed without litter boxes, surrounded by trash, urine, and feces, leading to severe health issues.
A veterinarian who examined the cats reportedly found them covered in fleas, suffering from upper respiratory infections, mouth ulcers, and other serious medical conditions. The facility was described as filled with excessive urine, feces, overwhelming ammonia odors, and cobwebs throughout the building. Some cats had permanent damage due to alleged prolonged neglect.
This reported neglect caused immense suffering to these innocent animals and indicates a breach of trust by those responsible for their care. To prevent future incidents of this nature and to uphold animal welfare laws, it is imperative that those reportedly responsible are held accountable. Demand that authorities fully prosecute the individuals involved to ensure justice for these animals and to deter future cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Robert F. Manzi, Jr.,
We are deeply concerned about the reported case of severe animal neglect involving over 200 cats found in deplorable conditions at an animal rescue center in Blairsville. The animals were reportedly living without litter boxes, surrounded by trash, urine, and feces, leading to serious health issues such as upper respiratory infections and permanent damage to their sinus canals.
A veterinarian who examined the cats reportedly described the facility as being covered in excessive urine, feces, fleas, and overwhelming ammonia odors. Many of the cats were suffering from mouth ulcers, nasal discharge, gingivitis, and other serious medical conditions due to alleged neglect. Such conditions indicate a severe breach of animal welfare standards and a profound disregard for the well-being of these animals.
We urge your office to thoroughly investigate this matter and to fully prosecute the individuals reportedly responsible for this suspected neglect and abuse. Taking decisive legal action will demonstrate a commitment to justice, help prevent future incidents of animal cruelty, and ensure that those entrusted with the care of animals uphold the highest standards of welfare. Please ensure that justice is served for these innocent animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

NEED TO NAME NAMES: “The president of Cat Aid Network, Kimberly Rose, and a board member, Pamela Curry, were arraigned Wednesday for charges that included aggravated cruelty to animals, torture and neglect.
Police said the women were in charge of caring for cats at their mobile rescue center on Route 982 in Blairsville. The rescue opened about four years ago.”

Apparently, some of the cats died from the prolonged neglect even after being taken in and tried to be treated by a second rescue group.
