A woman who starved two cats to death has been banned from keeping animals.
RSPCA inspectors found one of Bernadette Gallivan's pet cats dead in the bathroom sink and another wedged between a set of drawers in her Bradford house.
Gallivan had moved out to live with a friend half a mile away and had not returned to feed her pets despite working in a nearby cafe, the animal welfare charity said. Gallivan's two cats, Bentley and Mischief, were found dead surrounded by mounds of rubbish, faeces, empty cans and bottles, and heavily soiled litter trays.
It is believed the three animals had not been fed for "a prolonged period" of "at least two weeks, probably longer," the charity said.The charity said Edie, who weighed just 3.9kg when she was rescued, had been "found just in time". After six weeks in the care of the RSPCA's Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford and District branch, her weight had increased to 6.8kg.
