The former owner of a foreclosed home where 20 cats were found dead
Wednesday could face animal cruelty charges, authorities said Thursday.
Karen Crooke, the former president of and publicist for the Coastwind Cat Club
- which sponsors an annual cat show in Beaumont - is listed as the
owner of the home on Sandelwood Trail where officers found about 20 dead
cats in filthy kennels. Four cats were found alive in the home, which
was littered with trash, empty cat food cans and feces.
Two of the cats escaped as authorities and members of the city's HazMat team entered the home Wednesday afternoon.
Matthew Fortenberry of Beaumont Animal Services
said a woman left her name and contact information at the police
department about the cats Thursday, but he has not been able to get in
touch with her to set up a meeting. Although Fortenberry was not sure of
her identity, The Enterprise found her name in county records
associated with the house.
"We have to speak with the owner to see
if something is wrong ... or if it was intentional that she left them
there in that condition," Fortenberry said.
What, if any, charges will be filed against Crooke will be determined by her answers, he added..." More

If you have purchased an expensive pedigree cat or kitten from a *CFA/TICA registered pedigreed cat breeder & you are not satisfied with your purchase & the registered cat breeder refuses to want to deal with you. You have emailed them, called them, the breeder will not answer you whatsoever. But they were quick to take your money that is for sure. You have come to the right site.
If you've been defrauded by *registered pedigree cat breeders, please know that you are not alone. You can reach out to others who've been taken advantage of, just like you have. Together we are no longer victims, but we certainly are VICTORS, we can heal one another through this experience
