Woman Ordered To Get Rid Of 168 Cats

A woman in Volusia County, Fla., has three months to get rid of nearly 170 cats living at her home after a request to keep them was denied, according to a Local 6 News report.

Homeowner Kristy Grant has been taking care of the cats at her 10-acre home in Pierson.

However, neighbors have complained that the animals are attacking squirrels and killing birds.

City Council members unanimously denied Grant's request to have her home declared an animal sanctuary.

Grant can keep only four cats, according to residential zoning laws, the report said.

"I'm looking for a good attorney who is willing to help me out that loves animals and can win this for me," Grant said. "I'm not getting rid of my cats. I'm in the middle of nowhere. If I can't take care of cats here, where can you?"

Local 6 News reported that Grant knows every one of the cats by name.

She said she may move and take all of the cats with her.
