Landlord Says
Forty Cats Too Much
By Marty Vega
Forty cats and seven dogs is too
much for Ft. Bragg serviceman
Corwin (Corky) Keaffaber, who
Tiled a complaint and notice of
summary ejectment Friday in
magistrates court against his room
er, Mrs. Jamie Donaldson.
Keaffaber, and his wife Audrey,
live with his parents and several
small children in a rented house
near the Puppy Creek fire station.
"I rented the room along about
May, and one by one she started
bringing the cats inside. She's had
them living in there since July",
Keaffaber said.
Keaffaber said he couldn't enter
the room because a large German
shepherd is also kept inside and he
was fearful for his children's safety.
Mrs. Donaldson also owns other
dogs which are kept in a pen
outdoors, he said.
It was impossible to make an
exact count, he said, but Keaffaber
stated in the written complaint that
he knew of 40 Siamese cats to be
living in the room.
"I have had as much as I can
take. I have asked her over and
over to move and she won't. I've
been around in a big circle, my
mother has called the health de
partment, they said call social
services, the social services said call

called the sheriff, Dave Barrington.
and he told us that we could get an
order to get her evicted and that's
what we've done. It was the first
time that anybody told us just what
we could do Keaffaber said.
County sanitarian M.R. Mills
and assistant sanitarian Lawrence
Caviness viewed the room Friday.
"I've seen enough, close the
door". Mills said after he smelled
the odor.
"It's terrible. What with all these
young children in the house, that
kind of filth", he said.
Mills told Mrs. Donaldson that
to have that many animals in a
room was unsanitary and a danger
ous health hazard and she told nim
that she was going to be moving as
soon as she found a place.
"I know I'll have to move. I'll be
moving. I may get a four room
place in Hope Mills", she said.
Mrs. Donaldson said she "had
to" keep the cats inside because
they became sick when they were
left in a barn.
"I've got $1.000 in those cats and
they can't be left outdoors in the
cold", she said.
Mrs. Donaldson was reluctant to
speak to a reporter who accom
panied Mills and Caviness, and
firmly denied there was any odor.
"Of course there are litter trays,
I change them every morning and
every night. Would you like to
come out and help me? What odor?
I buy OdorBan, it costs me a lot of
money, and there isn't any smell",
she said.
When asked how many cats lived
in the room, she said "about 32".
"Would you like to go in there
and count them? Go in and count,
if the shepherd will let you", she
added.
"If the humane society knew
about this, they'd be out here in a
minute, you know". Mills said.
Mrs. Donaldson said none of the
cats living in the room was sick, but
Caviness said later he saw mange
present.
"I know, I have to live in there,
too", she said when Mills empha
sized the unsanitary condition.
Mrs. Donaldson said that the
cats were not breeding in the room
and said the very young kittens
were brought in from the barn.
"I used to be, (a professional cat
breeder) but since I've been work
ing at Ft. Bragg, it's just something
to supplement my income, I don't
make much money", she said.
Clerk of Court Juanita Edmund
set Dec. 2 as date for appearance in
Magistrate's Court to hear the
eviction request.
