Breaking News: Hundreds of Cats Rescued from Florida "Sanctuary"

Caboodle Ranch cat

We’re at it again! At the request of the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and Madison County Animal Control, the ASPCA is on the ground in Florida managing the rescue of hundreds of cats. The animals were found living in overcrowded and filthy conditions at a non-profit cat sanctuary known as Caboodle Ranch. This is the largest number of cats the ASPCA has ever had to remove from one location in the course of an animal cruelty investigation.

“After receiving numerous complaints regarding the care of animals at Caboodle Ranch, we’re glad that the appropriate enforcement action is being taken,” says Sheriff Ben Stewart with the Madison County Sherriff’s Office.

Many of the cats are exhibiting signs of severe neglect and appear to be suffering from upper respiratory conditions and eye infections, among other medical issues. Responders are also uncovering numerous deceased cats on the property.

“This is a tragic situation. Caboodle Ranch was clearly overwhelmed with hundreds of cats in dire need of medical treatment,” says Tim Rickey, Senior Director of the ASPCA’s Field Investigations and Response team. “The sanctuary had no adoption or spay/neuter programs in place to manage its current population.”

In addition to the ASPCA, numerous agencies from throughout Florida and others from as far away as California have stepped in to help with the massive rescue. “Our immediate goal is to work quickly to remove these cats from the property and safely transport them to a temporary shelter, where they will be triaged by a veterinary team,” adds Rickey.

As of this morning, responders continue to pull cats from the property. The founder of Caboodle Ranch has been arrested and multiple animal cruelty charges are pending.

Please stay tuned for more breaking news on the Madison County rescue.

I was unable to read your message. It simply made no sense. If you truly desire to be heard, please utilize paragraphs and proper capitalization and punctuation.

The ASPCA says it has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars caring for cats from Caboodle Ranch, that they took away from their home in Feb. Imagine if it had spent some of that money on the ranch. The cats at Caboodle were not in dire need of medical attention, as Tim Rickey stated. Dr Dick Green later refuted that statement and said the majority of the cats DID NOT LOOK LIKE THOSE IN THE PETA VIDEO. I have been to the ranch; I have walked the fence line. It was a wonderful facility for unwanted, unloved and undesirable cats. Craig Grant also helped many people who were elderly and couldn't care for their cats anymore,and for those whose homes were foreclosed. He did not want to turn the cats out into the street to survive, or to shelters that would inhumanely kill them. The raid was a political ploy by PeTA because it wanted the Florida legislature to NOT bring the Florida Animal Rescue Act out of committee. PeTA prefers companion animals, cats & dogs, to be killed before they can be abused. There were some cats with URIs at CR when it was raided. I was at the latest civil hearing and saw pictures of captured CR cats in the ASPCA shelter--amazingly, three months later, some of the cats had URIs, and they were healthy when they were brought in. Is the care at ASPCA shelter deficient? The raid was a tragedy and I hope Judge Parker, who doesn't want to be known as the "cat killer," recognizes the value of the ranch. About 30,000 Caboodle fans do, and many, many will not donate to the ASPCA any longer because of the raid. This whole incident could have been handled so much more compassionately, more sensibly, and certainly more cheaply. Caboodle fans will not stop at just getting Caboodle cats back. We are organizing to help educate the general public on the duplicity of the ASPCA, and to show how small a percent of the funds raised actually go to help animals. ASPCA is big on corporate salaries, big on shelter kill rate, but not so big on doing the right thing with the animals they supposedly save. Our movement is growing everyday as more and more people learn about the dispersal of the donations. It's shameful.

If all the thousands of dollars that were spent to raid the Ranch had been spent to help Craig take care of the animals then there would have been no need for such an awful destruction of a wonderful place. Taking care of all those cats of course would be extremely difficult and how much help did he have? How many agencies were running over to help him? Why weren't they contributing to the well being of the cats while they lived at the ranch?

Shame on the ASPCA and all who vilified caboodle.with all their millions of dollars spent on corporate salaries ,if they kept kaboodle open and implemented a staff to vet the cats consistently to help Craig..this wouldn't have to be..he needs help to manage the place properly..instead they destroy the property and round up the cats ,and will euthanize them eventually instead of helping him implement a successful well managed sanctuary..ASPCA needs to bE exposed as well as PETA for their lies and self serving agendas.

I cannot believe if anyone knew the truth about Caboodle Ranch would ever support it. For those of you who want to know the whole truth. Here it is with evidence: The reason the EAH ordiance was put into effect and modeled after the Alachua County ordinance was due to the numerous complaints filed with Madison County Animal Control and Det. Tina who was the detective on the Caboodle Ranch animal neglect case since at least 2009. They looked into the complaints, found they were valid and an Order to provide care was entered against Grant in May 2009 which Grant received and signed for. Also before you say its against the law to pass a law to resolve a problem in a city or county, That is NOT true. It happens all the time. The city/county has a problem, they discuss it at the council meeting and come up with solutions to solve the problem. It happens ALL the time in this country. Also IF CR was operated the way CR claims, it would have passed the first inspection and NOT needed extensions. Here is the blog entry from Nanette claiming they were already doing what the EAH required and was ready to pass inpection. But they failed twice bc they were not ready. Why is that? Which statement is the truth. http://caboodleranch.livejournal.com/36477.html http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/2009_05_06_CourtOrderToShowCare.pdf Grant did some improvements to the Ranch but did not follow all the provisions of the court order in 2009. As a result, complaints kept coming into AC. See letter from AC to Grant about on-going problems. An inspection of CR was scheduled but then canceled by Grant based on the recommendation of his attorney. I have the letter but do not know how to post an attachment. But if you want a copy, PM me and I will send it to you Perry or anyone. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/ACLetter_20100927.pdf In December 2010, AC did an announced inspection (which gave Grant time to clean up the place) but AC still found problems at CR and offered help. Grant never took them up on their offer and did not correct the major problems: 1. Records for each cat, 2. ID system for each cat, and 3. To quarantine cats with contagious and deadly diseases which is the law. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/2010_12_06_WilloughbyInspection.pdf However, complaints about CR kept coming in from people who dropped off cats or volunteered and filed complaints with AC and the sheriff's department. So AC asked for another inspection, and Grant said OK. But again, it was NOT as surprise inspection as the March 2011 report states bc of the e-mail warning Nanette got from AC about the upcoming inspection. So CR had weeks to get the Ranch ready to look nice when the inpsection occured. But AC discovered he was still not complying with the court order and gave him time to get into compliance. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/surprisevisit2011.pdf http://caboodleranch.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2011.3.16-animal-control-inspection-report3.pdf Then on May 19, 2011, Elise Perkins, had a conference with Det. Tina and Sheriff Ben Stewart and gave them affidavits with photographs and a video of the conditions of CR. You can read some of those stories on the CR.net site. Sheriff Ben agreed that the evidence I gave him constituted felony animal cruelty, and as a result, he called the county prosecutor twice during the meeting. The prosecutor, Dean Morphonious called back, and Sheriff Ben requested an injunction be filed against CR and the cats removed based on the evidence I turned over to the Sheriff at that meeting and the prosecutor agreed. The next day I called the prosecutor to f/u and he told me he declined to prosecute because he was too busy with drug felony cases and did not have the time to handle that many animal cruelty counts in a criminal case. He suggested we try the civil route and do a civil investigation as allowed under Florida Statute and the Judge would approve the civil investigation. However, the animal rescue organizations that had been offering help to Grant would only do so if the local sheriff or county attorney invited them in to do the civil investigation. But the county attorney advised against writing such a letter asking the resuce groups to be appointed by the Judge to do a civl investigtion and opined it was not a good idea. As a result, the animal cruelty continued and cats continued to die that did not have to. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/Letter_LewisToGrant_2009May.pdf As a result of dozens of people filing complaints and the local authorities not willing to do their job because it was not cost effective, people who knew the truth about CR being a horrible place for cats would not give up and in desperation called PETA to help save the CR cats. Due to the numerous phone calls PETA got from people who left cats or volunteered there, they decided to check it out. Thus they sent in an under cover person to investigate in September 2011. She believed that CR was not a properly run shetler, and in Jan 2012, brought in an expert on animal shelter care to find out if CR was a properly run animal shelter. Dr. Dana Miller, Animal Shelter expert, who filed this report with prosceutor Wes Pasxon which helped serve as additional evidence to obtain a search warrant for CR. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/Criminal/OffenseIncidentReport.PDF This is ALL that is required to obtain the search warrant which was based on testimony of 3 PETA volunteers, Dr. Dana Miller, Shelter Expert, and AC officers Jamie Willoughby and Clint Whitfield. The AC officers made statements that they "observed similair conditions at CR" . See attached affidavit for search warrant. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/Criminal/AffidavitforSearchWarrant.pdf If the evidence presented to the Judge was fabricated and false then the cats would have NOT been taken and CR would still be in operation today. Its like doing a drug bust based on undercover detectives or confidential informants evidence, but if they get to the location of the so called drug ring and find no drugs, then no one is arrested and the issue dropped. But when the authories arrived at the Ranch, animal cruelty and neglect was everywhere along with dead cats left out in the open. I know that CR tells supporters that the pics of the sick and dead cats are old pics and those problems corrected, but that is a lie. All those evidence photos were taken during the 3 days of the seizure of the CR cats between February 27 - 29, 2012. None of the problems at CR had been corrected in THREE years. That is your answer. Plain and simple. As for the Sheriff not visting the Ranch prior to the raid it is not necessary or required. Would the sheriff visit the home of a drug dealer to determine first hand if he is sellilng drugs? No. They obtain their information based on confidential informants, under cover detectives, and then go to court to show the court the evidence, and if the Judge deems it to be enough evidence and it its crediable, an arrest warrant is issued. So for all the CR conspiracy theorists out there. Grant/CR had 3 years of recommendations on how to run a proper and healthy sanctuary, even a free-roam one like CR, and offered help, but Grant refused. CR's own vet admitted Grant refused his treatment advice for cats. See hearing testimony transcript. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/Transcript_CrossExam_DrJohnCLewis.pdf http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/DrJulieLevy2009web.pdf http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/LauraBevan2009.pdf That is the story backed up with evidence. If you want to know the truth about CR you have to read the evidence and not ignore it because Rob, Craig, Nanette and Dale have all told you its all fake. After you read all the evidence, please make your own decision. But the closing down of CR was done for one reason and one reaon only. Grant was not providing proper and adequate care for the animals in his care at CR and was breaking the law by not quarantining the very sick and contagious cats. And as a result, cats died long suffering deaths as a result of Grant having NO training in animal rescue and refused to follow the advise of experts and even his own vet. There is NOTHING more to it than that. Even after the raid, Grant did not even attend ONE class on how to run a sanctuary or animal rescue. This shows he could care less about how to properly take care of cats because he refuses to learn how and follow advice. Read the final Order by the Judge citing 13 reasons he came to the decision to remove ALL animals from CR and not be allowed to care for live animals in the future. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/CaboodleRanchCustody_FinalOrder.pdf Remember, all this started bc Rob Grant had a cat that was not fixed and then he abandoned the cat with a man who despised cats, his father. As a result, the abandoned cat had kittens and those kittens had kittens, and not once did it occur to Grant to fix the cats to stop them from reproducing. Nor did he learn the basic lesson, its much cheaper to fix a cat then letting it have more litters which you then have to feed, provide vet care for and give them shots to stop the spread of deadly diseases. In 11 years he never learned that basic logic and lesson. He did not believe in spay/neuter, shots and regular vet treatmentment with Pepper and kept that belief until February, 27, 2012. If you cannot learn that basic lesson to fix all cats in your possession, then you should NOT be in the animal rescue business. http://caboodleranch.net/Documents/2009_05_06_CourtOrderToShowCare.pdf caboodleranch.net

If people would help instead of blame and assault not only would we be able to live better lives, the animals would have a chance to as well. Why couldn't ASPCA go in there and help? How is closing up the place, hauling away the cats when they are likely to end up dead, going to benefit those cats in any way? How is going to benefit any of the elderly people who took cats there as the only way to keep them alive when they had to go into nursing homes? Why is it that even the groups that are supposed to be animal welfare continually resort to euthanization over helping someone who is willing to spend their time and money to do everything they can to give animals a chance to have a life? I have 4 well cared for cats and two of them are chronic upper respiratory. Should I be arrested? Should I be arrested if one of them dies? Of course some of the cats will be sick if there are a lot of them. I volunteer with a rescue and have worked with the humane society and a lot of cats come in with diseases. To expect them all to be healthy all the time is irrational. Germs happen with any large group of any animal or people especially when people are coming and going bringing in germs from outside. Think about it. Every day we send millions of children into large groups in schools where they all get sick by spreading germs between each other and occassionally it is something like meningitis and some die but we don't raid schools and put all the kids into foster care or arrest the principal. Why is it acceptable for us and not for cats. Why aren't you people raiding farms. Nobody cares if farm cats all get sick and die. Somehow our priorities seem to be getting all mucked up. If someone out there is willing to take on the care of animals nobody else wants to care for, then we should be doing everything we can to help them do it well. They are shouldering responsibilities that we should all be taking! Those animals deserve to live a life just as much as you people do.
