Hoarding Case Ends With Lenient Sentence

Nomadic Paws Kitten Rescue’s owner Kayla Campbell and director Ian Yaeger finally wrapped up their animal neglect case, each pleading guilty to one felony count of animal cruelty — avoiding 14 total charges. They received suspended five-year sentences, serving just 30 days (on weekends!), plus two years of supervised probation. The judge ordered nearly $9,000 in restitution to law enforcement and animal charities, with each also personally liable for $4,491.41. Both are banned for life from owning pets — though that ban may be overturned after five years — and can’t touch any animal-related organizations during the ban. Animal control can show up unannounced during probation to ensure compliance. Evidence showed they hoarded cats in unsanitary conditions, causing disease and the deaths of at least four cats.
