BLAIRSVILLE WOMEN FACE ANIMAL CRUELTY CHARGES

Two Blairsville women face dozens of animal cruelty charges after authorities found 87 sick cats in a Derry Township home.  The Trib reports that Pamela Curry and Kimberly Rose were charged with numerous counts each of aggravated animal cruelty and animal neglect.  Both are free on $7000 unsecured bail.  Officers say the two, who are involved in the Cat Aid Network.  In September of 2022, investigators discovered unsanitary conditions at the mobile home where the cats were being housed.  The conditions and lack of action may have also caused the deaths of 13 cats.  Local rescue groups, including Ninth Life Animal Rescue and Frankie’s Friends, took in the felines and worked with Cat Aid Network’s foster homes. Ninth Life reported taking in 211 cats related to the property and Cat Aid Network.
