Donna Laithwaite has been banned from keeping animals for five years following an RSPCA prosecution
A pet owner who starved two cats to death after locking them in a bedroom has been banned from keeping animals for five years. Donna Laithwaite, of Wigan, was also given a 20 week suspended prison after being pleading guilty to three counts of causing unnecessary suffering to her cats following an RSPCA prosecution.
"I went upstairs to the bedroom where the landlord had advised the dead cat was; the smell in the room was foul. There were faeces all over the bed and in the corner of the room, with lots of empty cat food boxes scattered around."Under the bed was another mattress with a dead cat lying on top of it. Upon leaving the property I realised I was absolutely covered in fleas from the inside.
After making a number of attempts to contact Laithwaite, Ms Wilford eventually spoke to her on December 7. She admitted owning the cats and said she had locked them in the bedroom to stop them fighting with another cat in the house. Laithwaite, 48, of Derby Street, Wigan, was also fined £750 and ordered to pay £128 costs after being sentenced at Wigan magistrates court. Speaking after the hearing RSPCA inspector Deborah Beats said: "The death of both of these cats was entirely unnecessary and they must have suffered horribly.
