Kitty hoarder cited for animal cruelty

The woman who kept more than 100 cats in her house has been cited for animal cruelty, North Las Vegas police said.

Animal control officers last week rescued 112 cats and a dog from a home in the 800 block of Harp Way, near Martin Luther King Boulevard and Cheyenne Avenue.

Police said the house, which had a broken air conditioner, was uninhabitable.

The 47-year-old woman, who police have not named, was charged with a misdemeanor citation of animal cruelty.

Animal control took the cats and dog to Lied Animal Shelter.
