DELAND, Fla., April 24 (UPI) -- A Volusia County, Fla., woman who has been fined thousands of dollars for keeping 150 cats in her home said she is taking her fight to court.
Kristy Grant, who was initially fined $6,700 by the county for the unlicensed pets and fined an additional $150 per day since the county ordered to get rid of the cats in March, said her cats are well cared for and she recently installed a fence to keep her pets from wandering into the yards of neighbors, WK MG-TV, Orlando, Fla., reported Thursday.
"It is frustrating, it is nerve-wracking," Grant said. "It has been a long two years since I was first cited for having more than four pets on my property."
Grant said her home should be considered a cat sanctuary.
"I don't want to prevent anyone from doing what I do. If you want to help an animal, you should," she said.
The cat-lover said she knows every one of her pets by name.
