A woman is banned from owning or caring for animals for five years after being convicted of four counts of animal cruelty.
Sixty-four-year-old Cathy Graham of Tweed was found guilty of two counts of failing to comply with prescribed standards of care and one count each of permitting animals to be in distress and failing to comply with an OSPCA Act order.
Court heard 85 animals were removed from her residence in November of 2015 following a search by the Quinte Humane Society and the OSPCA Major Case Management Team.
A total of 52 adult dogs, 23 puppies and 10 cats were taken from the property and several were taken to a veterinary hospital for treatment.
