Mum caught with nine cats despite court ban

A MUM caught with nine cats despite being banned from having them cried ‘they're my babies’ as they were taken away.

Marissa Faultless was hit with a 10-year disqualification on keeping cats after nearly 100 of them were rescued from her home at Tower Road, Sutton Coldfield, due to appalling conditions.

But a day after the 68-year-old received the ban, as well as a community order, neighbours spotted cats at her home.

A warrant was ultimately executed in June this year when nine cats were found in her possession.

Again, they were not being looked after property.

Faultless was charged with a further animal welfare offence as well as breaching her disqualification but she failed to show up at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, (November 5).
