total of 55 dead cats and 111 live cats, many of those in “deplorable condition,” were removed by Columbus Humane from a Gahanna home Wednesday morning.
Gahanna police and Columbus Humane descended on the house in the 3600 block of Olde Ridenour Road around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. The removal was part of an investigation conducted by Columbus Humane, which handles law enforcement complaints involving animal cruelty and neglect.
Workers from Columbus Humane had to wear protective suits and masks while going through the home. Gahanna police were there to assist but they didn’t have any problems with the property owner, said Niel Jurist, Gahanna’s spokeswoman. The home’s owner is Daniel Slyby, 60, according to police and county records.
“The cats were found in deplorable condition,” said Kerry Shaw, a spokeswoman for Columbus Humane. “We are pursuing multiple charges.”
While no charges have been filed against the owner of the cats, a hearing has been set for Dec. 20 in Franklin County Environmental Court to review the situation, Shaw said.
Columbus Humane, which operates a shelter at 3015 Scioto Darby Executive Court on the Far West Side, was so overwhelmed with the cats from Gahanna that they had to shut down operations to the public Wednesday, Shaw said.
Veterinarians were examining the 111 live cats to evaluate their health, gather evidence and determine their future, Shaw said."
