News Release

July 1, 2008
Contact Person: Paulette Dean, (434) 799-5306

The Danville Area Humane Society was awarded custody of all the cats seized from Vicar Road on June 20, 2008.  The owner, Angela Blankenship, was also prohibited from owning companion animals in the City of Danville.

 

Mrs. Blankenship did not contest the custody ruling.

 

The cats’ health continue to improve and are available for adoption.  However, most of them should be considered special needs cats, and must be adopted from people who are experienced cat owners.
