Yesterday, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a residential welfare check in the R-section of Palm Coast. Deputies found an elderly resident was trying to care for 96 cats living inside the home. Deputies did not find any intentional animal neglect or abuse but did determine the living conditions were unsafe and the cats would need to be removed. Deputies contacted Palm Coast Animal Control, who worked to remove the cats and take them to Flagler Animal Hospital for evaluation. Upon receiving any treatment needed, the cats will be available for adoption through the Flagler Humane Society. Sheriff Rick Staly encourages anyone looking for a furry friend to visit flaglerhumanesociety.org/ado… and reminds residents that responsible pet ownership means only adopting the number of pets you can handle or that are allowed under city ordinances.
