CALEDONIA — Fourteen cats were found
deceased in a dog crate outside on a foreclosed Caledonia property,
according to the Caledonia Police Department.
Last
Wednesday, Caledonia Police responded to the 5500 block of Six Mile
Road after restoration company staff working at the property saw the
cage which was covered by a blanket with the animals inside.
Inside
the cage officers found 14 cats, ages 1 to 4, which were reportedly
packed into a wire cage that was made for a larger dog. The animals had
reportedly been left outside during last week's snowstorm.
Police said the responsible party is
a 57-year-old man, formerly of Caledonia, who was evicted from the
property. The man had prior issues with police after an animal on the
property wasn't being tended to.
The man is expected to be charged sometime Tuesday or Wednesday.
