More than 30 ailing cats rescued from apparent kitten mill in Savoy
SAVOY -- More than 30 cats in need of intensive medical attention have been rescued from an apparent kitten mill run out of a residential home, according to authorities.
The home's owner, who has not been identified, is facing multiple felony charges of animal cruelty.
Responding to nearly a dozen complaints from neighbors and community members, authorities executed a search warrant on Friday at the house, according to Carrie Loholdt, Savoy's animal control officer.
"Rag doll"-type cats -- a breed that mixes Siamese with long-hair Persian-type breeds -- allegedly were being offered for sale to buyers through the Internet for $250 each, Loholdt said.
The owner, who was not at home when the search began, later returned and agreed to surrender the animals to law enforcement authorities.

are put down in shelters each year in this country? MILLIONS. Something's gotta be done. 
Puppy mill bans are met with resistance in NC, but the Gov and First Lady, who happen to be Republicans, are pushing for legislation.
